Bitcoin (BTC) started the week in the red, as traders prepared for a big week of economic announcements from the United States.
Inflation figures will be released on Tuesday, and are expected to fall to 7.3%, down from 7.7% the month prior.
BTC/USD fell to an intraday low of $16,899.39 during Monday’s session, which comes a day after hitting a high of $17,245.64.
As can be seen from the chart, today’s decline saw bitcoin move lower for a fourth straight day, edging closer to a floor of $16,700 i processen.
The 14-day relative strength index (RSI), which is currently tracking at 47.42, is also nearing a resistance of its own at 46.00.
Depending on tomorrow’s inflation figure we could see BTC move below $16,700, and potentially towards the $16,000 märke.
Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) also trended downwards on Monday, with prices falling for a second consecutive session.
Efter en hög av $1,281.78 på söndag, ETH/USD moved to a bottom of $1,243.48 tidigare på dagen.
The move saw ethereum fall to its lowest point since November 8, and it is now nearing a floor of $1,230.
Tittar på diagrammet, recent bearish sentiment in ETH returned once the RSI failed to break out of a ceiling of 52.00.
När jag skrev, indexet följer kl 48.60, and now seems to be moving towards a floor of 45.30.
Despite this downtrend, the 10-day (red) moving average still remains above its 25-day (blue) counterpart.
