Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Falls to 2-Month Low Following the Latest NFP Report  


Bitcoin fell to its lowest level in over two months, as Friday’s non-farm payrolls report showed an addition of 428,000. It was expected that last month’s payrolls would show an increase of 391,000 jobs — lower than March’s figure of 431,000. ETH also fell on the news, hitting a six-week low. Bitcoin


Bitcoin fell by nearly 10% in today’s session, as traders continue to react to recent action by the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates.


Today’s drop, which sees prices of BTC/USD hit an intraday low of $35,714.30, also comes as markets were preparing for the latest non-farm payrolls report.


Friday’s drop sees bitcoin slip for a second consecutive session, with prices now trading at their lowest level since February 24. BTC/USD – Daily Chart


Despite slipping to a more than two-month low, there could be more declines ahead, as prices appear to be moving toward a floor of $34,050.


Looking at the chart, this latest fall in prices has pushed the RSI towards a one-month low of 35.50, which is a point that has acted as a floor in the past .


Should this support fail to hold firm, then we will likely see that floor of $34,050 hit in the next few days.

ETH was also submerged by the latest red wave in crypto markets, as prices moved towards a six-week low.


The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency fell to an intraday low of $2,668.60, which is its lowest level since March 16.


Today’s low took prices close to the long-term support level of $2,660, after breaking out of a higher price floor of $2,780. ETH/USD – Daily Chart


As prices dropped, relative strength also gave way, with the 14-day RSI slipping below its own floor of 42.80.


Should this floor also fall apart, then we could see even more lows in ETH, with bears already targeting a $2,500 support point.


Overall, since the start of April, ETH/USD has moved from a peak of $3,560, to now trading almost $1,000 lower. Tags in this story Analysis, BTC, ETH, NFP report
