Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Surge Stalls at Key Resistance Level


Following Tuesday’s price surge, bitcoin was trading lower during today’s session, as markets hit a key resistance point. This comes as ETH was once again trading below the $3,000 level. As of writing, the crypto market cap is down 1.87%. Bitcoin


BTC bulls ran into a stumbling block on Wednesday, as traders appeared to once again short the world’s largest cryptocurrency.


Following a high of $44,793.60 yesterday, BTC/USD hit an intraday low of $43,307.96 earlier in today’s session.


BTC is down 2.42% on the day, as of writing, and is currently trading at $43,637.72, with the 14-day RSI tracking at 58.7.


Looking at the chart, Wednesday’s move occurred after BTC failed to break out of the $44,870 resistance level, which has historically been a point where bears entered. BTC/USD – Daily Chart


Similar to February 16, these bears halted the bullish onslaught, with many now expecting yet more consolidation from bitcoin.


Price strength has also begun to trend in a downward direction, as the RSI ceiling of 62 held firm to start the week.


If we are set for further consolidation, the floor of $42,120 could be the next price target for sellers.


Ethereum


Following a breakout from its own resistance level on Tuesday, the price of ETH was marginally lower on Wednesday, as it now trades below $3,000.


Earlier in today’s session, ETH/USD hit a three-week intraday high of $3,045. However, these gains were short lived.


As of writing, ETH has since dropped to a low of $2,907.46, as yesterday’s move has matured into a false breakout. ETH/USD – Daily Chart


Should this bearish pressure continue to extend throughout the rest of the session, bears will likely be looking at taking ethereum back below $2,880.


Relatively speaking, the prospects for bulls targeting $3,200 does remain, however, any further declines could lessen these chances, as prices will likely continue to consolidate. Tags in this story Analysis, Bitcoin, BTC, ETH, Ethereum
