Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Hits Fresh 3-Week High, Ahead of Thursday’s US Inflation Report


Bitcoin raced to a fresh multi-week high on Wednesday, as markets turned their attention to tomorrow’s U.S. inflation rate report. Thursday’s report is expected to show that consumer prices have fallen to 6.5%, down from 7.1% the month prior. Ethereum also rose marginally higher in the day. Bitcoin


Bitcoin (BTC) rallied above a key resistance level on Wednesday, ahead of tomorrow’s U.S. inflation report.


Following a low of $17,226.64 on Tuesday, BTC/USD raced to a peak of $17,493.32 earlier in today’s session.


As a result of the move, the world’s largest cryptocurrency climbed to its strongest point since December 15. BTC/USD – Daily Chart


Looking at the chart, today’s price surge came as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) broke out of a resistance point at the 60.00 mark.


Currently, the index is tracking at 63.80. This comes as BTC continues to hover around its own ceiling at the $17,400 mark.


In order to move closer to the $18,000 zone, the RSI will first need to move beyond a ceiling of 64.00 on the RSI. Ethereum


Ethereum (ETH) was also marginally higher in today’s session, with prices continuing to trade below a long-term ceiling


ETH/USD hit a high of $1,342.76 earlier in the day, less than 24 hours after trading at a low of $1,324.97.


Overall, ethereum remains below a resistance point of $1,350, with many expecting prices to move after the release of U.S. inflation figures tomorrow. ETH/USD – Daily Chart


As can be seen from the chart, the consolidation below this price ceiling comes as the RSI continues to trade under a hurdle of its own.


Price strength is now tracking at the 68.73 level, which is under a point of resistance at the 70.00 mark.


ETH bulls are likely still targeting a move beyond $1,400, however, in order for this to happen, the RSI level of 70.00 must first be overcome.
