Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: Bullish Uptrend Confirmed as New One Month Highs Reached

1 min read

Bitcoin and Ethereum register prices hitting new 1-Month highs as BTC hit $24,279 at the time of writing in today’s session. Ethereum, the #2 crypto, reached $1,621. Financial markets on the whole have been on the rise since Monday and cryptocurrencies are trending upwards. Is this the end of the crypto winter?

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) extended its recent gains on Wednesday, as prices rose towards the $24,000 level in today’s session.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency surged to an intraday peak of $23,759.76 on hump day, which is its highest point since June 13.

Wednesday’s fresh five-week high comes as price strength increased, breaking out of a key resistance level in the process.

Looking at the chart, this ceiling on the 14-day RSI of 56.7 was broken in the last 24 hours, leading to an influx of new bulls.

This move also comes as the 10-day and 25-day moving averages finally crossed, with both gauges of momentum moving in an uptrend.

As of writing, the RSI is tracking at 62, which has historically been a resistance point, and should this history repeat, we may see today’s gains begin to ease.

Ethereum

Like yesterday, ethereum (ETH) was once again trading above $1,600, as bullish sentiment remained in the token.

Following a low of $1,517.16 in Tuesday’s session, ETH/USD rose to a high of $1,602.13 on hump day.

Today’s peak saw the token trade at its highest point since June 11, and comes as bulls now look set to push prices closer towards $2,000.

This may be challenging, as price strength currently looks as though it is overbought, with the 14-day RSI tracking at 68.35.

Overall, this is the highest reading for the index since April 4, and unless this ceiling is broken, the move towards $2,000 will be on hold for now.

A key resistance of $1,645 is on the horizon, and should prices fail to move past this point, bears could look to reenter.
