Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: ETH Remains Above $3,400 Despite Bullish Momentum Slowing
Ethereum was trading above the $3,400 level for a third consecutive session, however bullish momentum has somewhat eased, as market uncertainty has gradually risen. With prices trading near resistance levels, bulls have pulled back, giving way to bears looking at re-entering the market. Bitcoin
Bulls in BTC have also pulled back, as prices continue to hover close to recent resistance levels, with some fearing price reversals.
Following a high above $48,100 earlier in the week, BTC/USD traded at an intraday low of $46,620.72 during today’s session.
Bitcoin has climbed by as much as 10% in the last week, however this momentum has eased, leading to consolidation. BTC/USD – Daily Chart
Some believe we could see this reversal in price strength take us back towards the $45,000 level, but this could be a short-term retreat as bulls continue to target $50,000.
Looking at the chart, the 14-day RSI has also begun to tail off, and is now close to its floor of 61, however should it not break below this level, bulls may continue to hold onto some hopes of a return to upside action.
The current move looks similar to what took place in early January, when prices were last trading at the current resistance below $48,000.
