Ethereum moved closer to $1,700 in today\u2019s session, as prices continued to rebound following recent losses. Bitcoin was largely unchanged from Tuesday\u2019s session, as the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency was once again trading above $21,000. As of writing, the global crypto market cap is trading 0.43% higher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) continued to trade above $21,000 during Wednesday\u2019s session, as markets consolidated following recent declines.<\/p>\n

On Monday, BTC<\/a>\/USD slipped to a low of $20,955.14, however prices have since rebounded trading higher for the past two days.<\/p>\n

Wednesday saw bitcoin hit an intraday high of $21,646.20, which is marginally above the current resistance point of $21,600.<\/p>\n

Following the brief breakout of the ceiling, prices have since dropped, with BTC<\/a> trading at $21,481.52 as of writing.<\/p>\n

Earlier gains have eased as bulls opted to secure previous profits, opposed to maintaining their positions close to the point of uncertainty.<\/p>\n

Overall, it appears that bitcoin bulls are aiming to recapture the $22,000 point, however they must first overcome this current resistance.<\/p>\n

Ethereum<\/h2>\n

Like bitcoin, ethereum (ETH<\/a>) was marginally trading higher on hump day, as prices of the token moved closer to $1,700.<\/p>\n

ETH<\/a> bulls moved the token closer to this level in today\u2019s session, as prices hit an intraday high of $1,666.68 earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

The move comes as ETH<\/a>\/USD continues to move away from last week\u2019s lows, where the cryptocurrency fell to a bottom below its $1,550 floor.<\/p>\n

Similar to BTC<\/a> earlier, ethereum has seen earlier gains reduced, as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) ran into a hurdle.<\/p>\n

This resistance was the 49.50 level on the indicator, which has historically been an area where bears reenter the market.<\/p>\n

As of writing, ETH<\/a> is now trading below today\u2019s high, which comes as the 10-day (red) and 25-day (blue) moving averages have finally crossed downwards.<\/p>\n

Some see this as a signal of further upcoming declines, especially if ETH<\/a> fails to break out of the $1,700 ceiling in coming days.<\/p>\n
