Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Nears $20,000, as ETH Hits 1-Month Low


Bitcoin was trading close to $20,000 to start the weekend, as traders reacted to comments from U.S. Fed Chair Jerome Powell during Friday’s Jackson Hole summit. Powell warned that “there will be some pain ahead,” as the Fed attempts to bring the rate of inflation down. Ethereum was below $1,500 on Saturday. Bitcoin


Bitcoin (BTC) was trading lower for a second consecutive session, as the token dropped below $21,000 to start the weekend.


Following a high of $21,804.91, bitcoin moved closer to the $20,000 level, falling to an intraday low of $20,020.94.


The move comes as comments from United States Fed Chair Jerome Powell sent shockwaves through global financial markets. BTC/USD – Daily Chart


Powell warned that, “there will be some pain ahead” in upcoming months, as the central bank continues its battle with inflation.


From a technical perspective, the sell-off commenced as BTC failed to sustain a breakout of its $21,600 resistance level.


Prices then went on to fall below another key level, this time at support of $20,800, on the way towards today’s low.


As of writing, the sell-off has marginally eased, however bitcoin continues to hover around what seems to be an interim floor of $20,200. Ethereum


Like bitcoin, ethereum (ETH) also moved lower on Saturday, as the world’s second largest cryptocurrency fell under $1,500.


Saturday saw ETH/USD drop to a low of $1,477.67, which is its weakest point since July 27, a day after prices were trading below $1,400.


Today’s decline comes as ethereum fell below its long-term support level at $1,550, with bears now targeting a floor of $1,450. ETH/USD – Daily Chart


Following this week’s downward crossover between the 10-day (red) moving average against its 25-day (blue) counterpart, many had feared that such a decline could occur.


Price strength has also now weakened to a multi-week low, with the relative strength index (RSI) tracking at a low of 38.75.


Although ETH is currently oversold, the RSI has yet to reach its support at 34, and should it reach this point, we will likely see the token trading below $1,400
