Technical Analysis
Bitcoin Analysis
BTC pulled back from the $26,755 resistance level after several rejected attempts to target $27,000. Significantly, BTC remained below the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, affirming bearish price signals.
A break above the $26,755 resistance level would support a BTC move to the 200-day EMA. However, a return to $26,000 would give the bears a run at the trend line. A break below the trend line would support a BTC move toward the $25,506 support level.
The 14-Daily RSI reading of 48.89 supports a BTC fall to the trend line before entering oversold territory.
Ethereum Analysis
ETH sat above the $1,626 support level. However, ETH continued to hover below the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, sending bearish price signals. An ETH break below the $1,626 support level would support an ETH move toward the $1,502 support level.
However, a return to $1,650 would give the bulls a run at the 50-day EMA.
Beyond the crypto news wires, SEC v Ripple and Coinbase (COIN) case-related news, and ETH-spot ETF updates would provide direction.
The 14-Daily RSI reading of 45.40 supports an ETH return to $1,600 before entering oversold territory.
