Bitcoin continued to hover around the $23,000 level on Jan. 23, as bullish sentiment remained high in markets. Over the weekend the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency rose to its strongest level since August, with bulls moving to consolidate these gains. Ethereum also traded in the green today, remaining above $1,600 in the process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) continued to trade near a five-month high to start the week, as sentiment in crypto markets remained bullish.<\/p>\n

Following a low of $22,387.90 on Sunday, BTC<\/a>\/USD hit an intraday peak of $23,056.73 earlier in today\u2019s session.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, BTC<\/a> rose to a high of $23,375, which was its strongest point since August 18, and it appears as though bulls are hoping to recapture this point.<\/p>\n

In order to achieve this, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) will likely need to move back towards a ceiling at 91.00.<\/p>\n

Currently, the index is at the 85.26 level, which is already overbought, and this could lead to some opting to secure gains and abandon previous positions.<\/p>\n

As of writing, BTC<\/a> is trading at $22,876.55, which is marginally higher than Sunday\u2019s peak.<\/p>\n

Ethereum<\/h2>\n

Ethereum (ETH<\/a>) also appeared to be consolidating the weekend\u2019s gains, with prices remaining above the $1,600 mark.<\/p>\n

On Monday, ETH<\/a>\/USD has so far risen to a peak of $1,658.02, which is relatively close to Saturday\u2019s four-month high at $1,680.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s peak comes as the world\u2019s second largest cryptocurrency rebounded from a floor around the $1,610 mark.<\/p>\n

Looking at the chart, the rebound took place following a failed breakout of a support point of 75.00 on the RSI indicator.<\/p>\n

As of writing, the indicator is tracking at 75.23, with the next visible resistance level at 80.00 zone.<\/p>\n

ETH<\/a> bulls will likely be still targeting a move above $1,700, and for this to occur, the 80.00 mark must first be overcome.<\/p>\n
