Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Back Above $20,000 as Markets Rebound

Bitcoin was back above $20,000 on Tuesday, as bulls seemingly moved in to buy following the recent dip in price. The token dropped to a multi-week low over the weekend, however prices have now risen in back-to-back sessions. Ethereum was also in the green, as prices briefly recaptured $1,600.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) was trading higher for a second consecutive session, as the token rallied back above $20,000 following recent declines.

BTC/USD dropped to a low of $19,600.79 on Sunday, however after two days of gains, prices reached a peak of $20,542.64 earlier today.

This move sees bitcoin attempt to move back towards a key support/resistance point at $20,800, five days after falling below the mark.

Looking at the chart, Tuesday’s rally has come as the relative strength index (RSI) rebounded from its own floor to start the week.

The RSI climbed from a support point at 29.00, and is now tracking at a reading of 38.20, which is marginally above its 38.00 ceiling.

Should this week’s uptrend continue, the index will likely reach a higher resistance point of 41.50, which will be enough to send prices above $20,800.

Ethereum

Like bitcoin, ethereum (ETH) also had a turbulent weekend, which saw prices fall to a one-month low.

During the weekend, ETH/USD hit a low of $1,427.73, which is its weakest point since July 26, taking prices close to a key floor at $1,420.

However, gains yesterday — and so far in today’s session — have sent the token to an intraday high of $1,600.46.

This sees the world’s second largest cryptocurrency climb by almost 10% from its low of $1,448.13 on Monday.

As of writing, ETH continues to trade above a key support point at $1,550, and this comes as its RSI edges closer to a potential hurdle.

A ceiling of 50.00 awaits the index, which is currently tracking at 47.00, which could potentially see bears back into the market, putting a stop to the recent rebounds.

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,...
