Bitcoin continued to trade lower on March 9, as prices fell to a fresh multi-week low in today\u2019s session. The decline came as crypto bank Silvergate confirmed that it will be winding down operations. Ethereum also edged lower.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) fell for a fourth straight session on Thursday, as markets reacted to news that Silvergate Bank will be liquidating its operations.<\/p>\n

Following a high of $22,198.90 on Wednesday, BTC<\/a>\/USD slipped to an intraday low of $21,609.99 earlier today.<\/p>\n

The decline in price pushed bitcoin to its lowest point since February 13, when it traded at a bottom of $21,366.<\/p>\n

Looking at the chart, this latest sell-off coincided with the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) falling to its lowest point since November 28.<\/p>\n

As of writing, the index is tracking at 36.86, which is marginally below its support point at 37.00.<\/p>\n

Despite this, BTC<\/a> remains above its own floor at $21,600, and should this zone hold steady, there is a chance prices could rebound heading into the weekend.<\/p>\n

Ethereum<\/h2>\n

Ethereum (ETH<\/a>) also remained in the red in today\u2019s session, registering a third consecutive drop in price.<\/p>\n

ETH<\/a>\/USD moved to a low of $1,530.43 earlier in the day, which comes less than 24 hours after hitting a high of $1,563.41.<\/p>\n

Similar to bitcoin, this drop resulted in the world\u2019s second largest cryptocurrency slipping to its weakest level since mid-February.<\/p>\n

Overall, ethereum is down nearly 7% in the past seven days, and this comes as the 10-day (red) moving average extended a crossover of its 25-day (blue) counterpart.<\/p>\n

As of writing, the RSI is also tracking at a multi-month low at 40.57, which was last hit on December 19.<\/p>\n

Should this trend continue, there is a strong possibility that ETH<\/a> could fall to a floor at $1,500.<\/p>\n
