Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: ETH Hits 2-Week Low, Following Move Below $1,900

BTC fell below $29,000 earlier in today’s session, as bearish pressure continued to intensify heading towards the end of the week.

Following a high of $29,972.64 only yesterday, the world’s largest cryptocurrency dropped to an intraday low of $28,954.97 earlier in the session.

The move saw BTC/USD head for its support point at $28,800. However, it stopped short of this target, as bulls pushed prices slightly higher.

As of writing, BTC/USD is currently trading at $29,018.85, which is roughly 1.26% lower than yesterday’s peak.

Relative strength continues to track below its own resistance point, which is under 40, and currently resides at 37, which is marginally above support at 36.6.

We will not likely see any significant price movements unless one of these levels is broken.

The headline story in crypto markets on Thursday was undoubtedly ETH falling to a two-week low during today’s session.

Less than 24 hours after trading at a high of $2,014.37, ETH/USD sank to a bottom of $1,810.35 earlier in the day.

This move took ethereum to its lowest point since May 12, and comes as prices fell from their recent support point.

Prices have mostly held this floor at $1,950 for the last fifteen days, however as bearish pressure intensified, we saw this level finally cave in.

What has not caved in is the ceiling on the 14-day RSI at 37, which held steady despite attempts from bulls to force a breakout.

This resulted in today’s drop, with the RSI now tracking at 31, which is close to a one-week low.

Could we see ETH drop even further in the upcoming days? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained. In addition, “more monetary debasement may be needed to ...

Economists Discuss Russia, China Potentially Developing Gold-Backed Currency That Could Undermine US Dollar

Economists have weighed in on reports that China and Russia may be developing a new gold-backed currency that could undermine the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency. Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine. The news outlet noted that some experts have cautioned that these moves, along with the closer relationship that has developed between Moscow and Beijing, point to the likelihood of China attempting to launch a gold-backed currency. However, neither Russia nor China has officially confirmed plans for such a currency. Craig Singleton, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former U.S. diplomat,...
