Following a strong start to the week, bitcoin (BTC) was trading in the red on Tuesday, as crypto markets were overcome with bearish sentiment.


BTC/USD rallied to an intraday peak of $24,203.69 on Monday, however it dropped to a bottom of $23,372.91 earlier today.


Today’s low, which saw bitcoin fall by nearly $1,000 in the past 24 hours, came as prices collided with a key ceiling. BTC/USD – Daily Chart


As can be seen from the chart, this ceiling was at the $24,200 level, which was last hit on the last day of July.


On that occasion, BTC rallied to as high as $24,600, before swiftly declining below the point of resistance.


The latest decline comes as the 10-day (red) moving average moved closer to a downward crossover with its 25-day (blue) counterpart, which often signals an upcoming downtrend. Ethereum


Ethereum (ETH) was also lower on Tuesday, with its own price moving closer to a breakout below the $1,700 level.


This comes less than a day after ETH was trading at a high of $1,806.89, however it dropped by over $1,000 today.


ETH/USD slipped to an intraday low of $1,700.88, as bulls battled to keep the token from falling below this point. ETH/USD – Daily Chart


Tuesday’s price retreat came as there was a breakout, with the relative strength index (RSI) marginally falling below its floor of 60.


Like with BTC, the 10-day moving average is also on a cusp of a breakout, however should price strength increase, then we may see ETH move back towards $1,800.
