Bitcoin
BTC fell for the third consecutive session on Friday, as the world’s largest cryptocurrency dropped to its lowest level this week.
Following a high above $47,591.00 i går, BTC/USD traded at an intraday low of $44,403.14 during today’s session.
This is the lowest BTC has hit since March 27, and comes days after a failed breakout of the $48,080 price ceiling.
As anticipated earlier this week, the moves of the last several days bear strong resemblance to those of January 2, which was the last time prices were trading in this territory.
Tittar på diagrammet, the 14-day RSI has also dropped from Tuesday’s high of 70.55, and now sits at 60.08.
Should price strength continue to fall towards its support of 56.50, we could see BTC trading closer to $42,000 to close out the week.

Ethereum
Fastän ETH was also lower in today’s session, it hasn’t fallen by as much as BTC, which as of writing is down 3.18%.
ETH/USD is currently down 1.35%, following an intraday low of $3,223.89 during today’s session, which is also the lowest since March 27.
I dag’s drop in price follows up from a peak of $3,441 during yesterday’s market session, as prices traded above resistance of $3,390.
This ceiling has now firmly been broken, with price strength also showing fragility, and the 14-day RSI tailing off from recent highs.
När jag skrev, it was tracking at 66.76, just days removed from a peak of over 73 att starta veckan.
Similar to Bitcoin-Tidings.com News’ BTC analysis earlier this week, a reversal was somewhat expected, however the length of this turnaround is still up for debate.
