After slipping to a multi-month low on Thursday, bitcoin (BTC) rebounded in today’s session, as prices rose back above $19,000.
BTC/USD rallied to an intraday high of $19,427.17 earlier today, which comes less than 24 hours after hitting a bottom of $18,710.09.
The rebound saw bitcoin move away from its lowest point since June 18, with the token now trading near a support level of $19,200 BTC/USD – Daily Chart
Looking at the chart, the relative strength index (RSI) is still in oversold territory, with the index tracking at 34.84 as of writing.
A ceiling of 38.00 now awaits should the token continue to rise, and may act as a potential obstacle to prices climbing any further.
However, should BTC move beyond this point, bulls may look to take prices closer to the $20,000 point. Ethereum
