Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Hits $30,000 on Tuesday, as ETH Nears $2,000
Bitcoin moved above $30,000 on April 11, as bullish sentiment returned to cryptocurrency markets. Markets surged after data in China showed that consumer prices had hit an 18-month low. Ethereum was also higher on the news, moving closer to $2,000. Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) raced above $30,000 for the first time in ten months, as markets reacted to the latest inflation data from China.
Consumer prices in China rose by 0.7% in March, which is the slowest increase since September 2021.
Following a low of $28,189.27 to start the week, BTC/USD raced to an intraday high of $30,160.48 earlier today. BTC/USD – Daily Chart
This move saw bitcoin climb to its strongest point since June 9, and comes as the 10-day (red) moving average avoided a downward cross with its 24-day (blue) counterpart.
In addition to this, the relative strength index (RSI) moved above a key resistance point of 68.00, and is currently tracking at 71.05.
The next visible ceiling appears to be at the 73.00 mark, and as a result, bulls may begin to secure profits, slowly vacating earlier positions. Ethereum

ETH/USD hit a peak of $1,936.73 earlier in today’s session, less than 24 hours after trading at a low of $1,848.16.
As a result of Tuesday’s surge in price, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency neared its highest point since last August.
