Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Back Above $19,000 to Start the Week

Bitcoin started the week trading above $19,000, as bulls made a sluggish return to the token, following recent sell-offs. Ethereum also rallied on Monday, after a brief stint trading below $1,300. Overall, the global crypto market is down 1.19% as of writing.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) was trading marginally higher on Monday, as bull began to return to crypto markets following recent sell-offs.

Following a low of $19,118.19 on Sunday, BTC/USD raced to an intraday high of $19,491.33 earlier in the day.

Monday’s move saw the world’s largest cryptocurrency climb towards a key price ceiling of $19,500.

Looking at the chart, the rebound in price comes as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) recently broke out of its resistance at 48.00.

As of writing, the index is tracking at 49.42, with the next visible resistance point near the 56.00 level.

Should price strength continue to move towards this point, we will likely see prices move towards the $20,000 mark.

Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) also surged to start the week, with the token climbing for a second straight session.

After a brief breakout below its floor of $1,275 on Saturday, ethereum has put together a run of back-to-back gains.

Today’s surge has seen the token hit a peak of $1,322.33, which comes a day after it was hovering around the $1,281.29 mark.

Despite today’s gains, momentum in ETH/USD continues to be bearish, with both the 10-day (red) and 25-day (blue) moving averages trending downwards.

Bulls will likely be tentative to enter at this point, as we near a ceiling of $1,330, with the RSI also nearing an obstacle.

As of writing, the index is tracking at 45.87, which is slightly below a ceiling of 46.00.

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,...

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 ...
