Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Establishes a New Support Point on Saturday
Bitcoin started the weekend in consolidation, as traders seemingly
found a new price floor at $26,500. The price uncertainty comes as markets settled following a volatile week, which was headlined by the
Federal Reserve rate decision. Ethereum remains below $1,600.
Bitcoin consolidated for a second straight session, with the cryptocurrency hovering around
a floor at $26,500. Following a
high of $26,786.10 on Friday,
BTC/USD slipped to a low of
$26,389.30 earlier in the session.
The price of bitcoin has since rebounded, and at the time of writing this is trading
at the $26,581.84 level. It appears that the rebound came as the relative strength index (RSI) failed to break out of
its own floor at 50.00.
At the time of writing this, price strength is
tracking at 50.01, and should this hold, bulls could be tempted to reenter the market. Moving averages continue to signal that there could be an incoming uptrend,
with the 10-day (red) trend line still higher.
Ethereum (ETH) remained under the $1,600 on Saturday, despite attempts by bulls to reenter this region.
ETH/USD dropped to a low of $1,587.43 to start the weekend, hours after bulls pushed price to an
high of $1,599.97.
However, it appears that there could be another attempt to move past this level,
with ethereum currently trading at $1,593.07. Unlike bitcoin, an upwards crossover of moving averages has yet to occur, however it seems like this could happen at any point.
