Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Moves Briefly Back Above $25,000

Bitcoin briefly moved back above $25,000 on Thursday, as markets rebounded from a volatile session the day prior. The potential collapse of Credit Suisse was somewhat averted, following an intervention from the Swiss National Bank, which has helped calm markets. Ethereum mostly consolidated in today’s session.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) rose back above the $25,000 level in today’s session, as market volatility eased, as the Swiss National Bank moved to prevent a collapse of Credit Suisse.

Following a low of $23,964.91 on Wednesday, BTC/USD rallied to an intraday peak of $25,240.62 earlier in the day.

As a result of the move, bitcoin once again broke out of a key resistance level at the $25,050 zone.

Overall, BTC is now trading 15% higher from the same point last week, with the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) at its strongest point since February 20.

Currently, the index is tracking at 62.54, which is marginally below a resistance point at the 65.00 mark.

This ceiling remains the main obstacle preventing bitcoin bulls from surging back towards a recent high above $26,000.

Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) on the other hand was mostly in the red, with prices falling back below the $1,700 mark.

ETH/USD hit a low of $1,616.63 earlier in today’s session, which comes following a high at the $1,701.43 mark the day prior.

As a result of today’s drop, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency moved below a key ceiling at the $1,675 point.

Looking at the chart, the decline came as the RSI failed to break out of a resistance level at 60.00.

At the time of writing, price strength is now tracking at 56.90, with the next visible point of support at 55.00

In the event bears land at this zone, there is a strong chance that ETH will be trading below $1,600.

Deep Web Roundup: Dream Adds Monero and Bitcoin Tumbler “Chip Mixer” Launches

The darknet has been quiet of late, which is the way it’s meant to be. No news means no mega busts, honeypots, or mass market shutdowns. Even when it’s out of the spotlight though, the deep web is quietly making news, whether trialling the latest privacy coins or the newest coin mixers that promise to restore a little of the privacy that’s being stripped away from bitcoin users on a daily basis.

Chip Mixer is a relatively new bitcoin tumbler that’s designed to restore some of that privacy. Available on both the clearnet and darknet, the service uses a variety of techniques to obfuscate blockchain m...
