Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Nears $27,000, as Bulls Make a Comeback

Bitcoin bounced back strongly to start the weekend, as prices moved closer to the $27,000 mark in today’s session. After a recent spell of consolidation, bulls returned to action, buying the recent dip in the process. Ethereum was also higher, closing in on $1,800 on Saturday.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) surged on Saturday, as bulls of the cryptocurrency moved to buy the recent dip in price.

BTC/USD rose to a high of $26,769.39 to start the weekend, which comes less than a day after trading at a low of $25,245.36.

The move pushed the price to its highest point since May 8, a day when the price was at a peak of $26,820.

Looking at the chart, the rally came when the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) finally broke out of a key ceiling at 43.00.

At the time of writing this, the index is tracking at 50.55, which is close to a new resistance at the 51.00 level.

Traders are likely targeting the $27,300 level, and could hit this if momentum continues to be bullish this weekend.

Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) also rebounded strongly to start the weekend, days after falling to a three-month low.

Following a low of $1,653.17 on Friday, ETH/USD raced to an intraday peak at the $1,766.76 level earlier today.

ETH fell to a bottom at $1,620 on Thursday, which was the weakest point that the price had hit since March 13.

Similar to BTC, a breakout of the RSI was one of the triggers of the move, with price strength climbing past a ceiling at 41.00.

The index is currently at a reading of 43.79, with the next resistance level at the 50.00 mark.

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.

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 ...
