BTC Above $30,000, ETH Hits $1,900 Following Moving Average ‘Death Cross’

Bitcoin extended recent gains on Thursday, climbing above the $30,000 level for the first time since April, and ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s testimony today. The move also came following a death cross of moving averages, which prompted bulls to intensify buying pressure. Ethereum moved to a multi-month high.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin moved above the $30,000 level in today’s session, ahead of a testimony by the chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell.

Powell will be speaking today for the first time since the Fed’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged in June.

BTC/USD hit a peak at $30,737.33 earlier in the day.

This is the strongest point that bitcoin has hit since April 14, when price reached a top at $31,050.

Another major catalyst for the move was a crossover of moving averages (MA), with the 10-day (red) MA, moving above its 25-day (blue) counterpart.

In addition to this, the relative strength index (RSI) has also marginally broken out of a ceiling at 70.00, and is now tracking at 70.88.

Ethereum

Additionally, ethereum (ETH) also made significant gains on Thursday, rising above $1,900 in the process.

Following a low at $1,812.37 on Wednesday, ETH/USD surged to an intraday high of $1,932.07 earlier in today’s session.

This was the highest level that ethereum had hit since May 6, which is the last time price was over $2,000.

Today’s rally also pushed the RSI to a resistance level at 61.00, a point that it has so far been unable to move past.

As of writing, the index is now tracking at 60.79, with earlier bulls opting to secure some gains, resulting in a drop in price.

ETH is now trading at $1,889.95.

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.

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.
