Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: Ethereum Back Above $1,300 to Start the Weekend

Ethereum remained close to a three week high on Monday, as prices rallied following a turbulent weekend. Bullish sentiment appears to have somewhat returned to crypto markets to start the week, with the market cap trading 1.56% high as of writing. Bitcoin was also in the green in today’s session.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) was trading close to a key resistance level on Monday, as bullish momentum seemingly returned to crypto markets.

Following a low of $19,124.20 on Sunday, BTC/USD surged to a peak of $19,646.65 earlier in today’s session.

This move saw the token briefly move past its ceiling of $19,600, however, as the day progressed, fell back below this point.

As of writing this, BTC/USD is currently trading at $19,426.71, which comes as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) collided with a resistance point of its own.

The index is currently tracking at 50.25, which comes after price strength failed to move past a ceiling of 52.00.

Bulls will likely continue to make another attempt to move beyond this point, and should this occur, we will see BTC back above $20,000.

Ethereum

In addition to bitcoin, ETH/USD was trading close to a three-week high on Monday, after breaking out of a key resistance.

ETH/USD raced to an intraday high of $1,368.43 earlier today, which is marginally below its highest point since October 6.

Today’s move comes as the price ceiling of $1,330 was broken during yesterday’s session, giving way to bulls reentering the market.

The RSI on ethereum also surged beyond a hurdle, moving past its own resistance of 50.30, and is tracking at 52.82 as of writing.

This recent rise in bullish pressure has led to a shift in momentum, with the 10-day (red) moving average now nearing a crossover with its 25-day (blue) counterpart.

Should this trend continue, then it is inevitable that ethereum will be trading above $1,400 in the coming days.

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 ...
