Bitcoin bulls were nowhere to be found on Thursday, as bearish pressure continued to dominate recent market sentiment.


Following a high of $44,309.03 on Wednesday, BTC/USD fell below $43,000 during today’s session, and is down by over 3% as of writing.


The move saw BTC hit an intraday low of $42,685.75, sending prices closer to recent support at $41,765.


This drop in price comes as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 14-days fell below its floor of 56, and is currently tracking at 53.10. BTC/USD – Daily Chart


In addition to the decline in price strength, the shorter term moving average of 10-days (red), is trending downward for the first time since January 30.


Despite BTC being down 3.33% in the last seven days, history shows us that the closer we get to support, bulls will likely be waiting to buy the dip.

Following a battle to remain over the $3,000 level on Wednesday, ETH struggled to stay above water during today’s session.


ETH/USD fell to an intraday low of $2,987 on Thursday, following a breakout of its long-term support at $3,022.


Although prices have since moved back above $3,000, this was a sign to bears that there could yet be further declines. ETH/USD – Daily Chart
