Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: ETH Back Above $2,000 as Crypto Rally Extends

ETH briefly rose above $2,000 on Tuesday, as crypto bulls were once again present in today’s market session. BTC was also higher, with the world’s largest cryptocurrency climbing to its highest point in nearly three weeks.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin rose to its highest level in nearly three weeks on Tuesday, as crypto prices continued to rally, following recent losses.

Following a low of $29,363 to start the week, BTC/USD surged to a peak of $31,949.63 earlier today.

This peak is the highest level bitcoin has traded at since May 9, when markets were on a four-day downward spiral from $40,000.

After an attempted breakout of its $30,500 resistance level on Monday, today has seen this point easily surpassed. However, it appears as if price uncertainty is already creeping in.

Looking at the chart, you can see we are now below earlier highs, with the 14-day RSI (relative strength index) also tracking at 50.

Relative strength hasn’t moved from this point in nearly two months, but should we see this finally happen, the long climb back towards $40,000 may have truly commenced.

Ethereum

Ethereum’s long climb back to $2,000 started and ended today, as ETH briefly recaptured this point, before tailing off as the session progressed.

ETH/USD rose to an intraday high of $2,005.49 on Tuesday, which comes less than 24 hours after trading at a low of $1,877.64.

Today’s gains see ethereum climb by over 10% in the last two sessions, with a recent resistance level being broken in the process.

This of course is the $1,950 point, which finally gave way following almost a week below this level, however bears have not fully faded as of yet.

As seen from the chart, earlier bulls have chosen to take profits following the rise above resistance, which has given bears the impetus to return.

Following earlier highs, ETH is now trading at $1,977.11 as of writing, and this comes as the 44.50 ceiling on the RSI held firm, despite recent breakout attempts.

Could we see bulls overcome current turbulence, to push ETH even further? 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,...
