Bitcoin consolidated below the $24,000 level on Feb. 27, as cryptocurrency markets prepared for a big week of economic data. Durable goods orders from the United States will be released later today, with consumer confidence figures set for Tuesday. Ethereum rose back above $1,600, following a breakout on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) has largely been in consolidation in today\u2019s session, as markets prepare for a big week of U.S. economic activity data.<\/p>\n

Following a low of $23,165.23 on Sunday, BTC<\/a>\/USD rose to an intraday high of $23,654.37 earlier in today\u2019s session.<\/p>\n

The move comes as bitcoin bulls continued to climb higher, following a breakout of the $23,000 level on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Since reaching the day\u2019s peak, prices have somewhat slipped, with the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency currently trading at $23,408.54.<\/p>\n

This appears to come as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) failed to break out of a resistance level of 53.00<\/p>\n

As of writing, the index is currently tracking at a reading of 51.95, with the next visible point of support at 50.00.<\/p>\n

Ethereum<\/h2>\n

Ethereum (ETH<\/a>), on the other hand, has been predominantly bullish to start the week, with prices rising back above $1,600.<\/p>\n

ETH<\/a>\/USD, which dropped to a bottom of $1,597.21 on Sunday, surged to a peak of $1,645.91 earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

Prices have mostly climbed in the past few days, after falling to a low of $1,557 to start the weekend.<\/p>\n

Like with bitcoin, earlier gains have eased, as the RSI collided with a wall at the 54.00 mark.<\/p>\n

Since this collision, price strength has declined, with the RSI now tracking at 53.04, and ETH<\/a> trading at $1,638.06.<\/p>\n

Should ETH<\/a> bulls intend to take price back towards the $1,700 mark, the first step in this journey would be to move past the 54.00 ceiling.<\/p>\n
