After a brief stint above $25,000 over the weekend, bitcoin (BTC) was trading in the red to start the new week.
On Sunday, BTC/USD hit an intraday high of $25,135.59, however the world’s largest token slipped to a bottom of $23,960.03 today.

Looking at the chart, today’s decline in price comes after a resistance level of $24,800 was hit over the weekend, with bulls unable to sustain the uptrend required to push prices higher.
In addition to this, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is tracking at 56.44, which comes after failing to break out of a ceiling of 61.80.
This continues to be the main obstacle in the way of BTC rising back above $25,000 for a longer period of time. Ethereum
In addition to BTC falling below $25,000, ethereum (ETH) also slipped to start the week, as the token dropped below $2,000.
Over the weekend, prices of the world’s second-largest token by market capitalization moved above $2,000 for the first time since May.
However, on Monday, ETH/USD dropped to a low of $1,887.82, which was less than a day after trading at a high of $2,007.21. ETH/USD – Daily Chart
This bearish turn in ethereum also comes as a result of the RSI being overbought, as it climbed above 71, which was its highest point since April 4.
As of writing, the index is tracking at 62, which comes as bearish sentiment swept through markets to start the week.
Prices will now be tested, with the index now close to a floor of 61, and should momentum move below this point, then we could see further declines.
