Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Nearing $25,000 as Banks Face Exodus of Deposits

Bitcoin moved closer to $25,000 on Tuesday, as banking withdrawals rose following the collapse of Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank.

First Republic Bank has been another major firm to fall, with its stock dropping by over 60% on Monday. Ethereum was also higher in today’s session. Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) extended recent gains on Tuesday, as prices rose higher for a fourth consecutive session.

Banking stocks were significantly lower to start the week, with investors seemingly moving capital towards cryptocurrencies.

Following a low of $21,918.20 in yesterday’s session, BTC/USD surged to an intraday peak of $24,851.62 earlier in the day. BTC/USD – Daily Chart

As a result of the surge, bitcoin rose to its strongest point since February 21, recovering from a recent two-month low in the process.

Overall, it appears that bulls are adamant and on a collision course with a ceiling at $25,000, however momentum has eased, as the relative strength index (RSI) nears its own resistance.

At the time of writing, the index is tracking at 63.41, which is marginally below a wall at 66.00 with BTC now trading at $24,368.14. Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) also moved higher in today’s session, with prices breaking out of a key resistance point in the process.

ETH/USD hit a high of $1,699.91 earlier on Tuesday, which comes less than 24 hours after hitting a low of $1,576.06.

The move came as prices moved past a long-term ceiling at $1,675, hitting a three-week high in the process. ETH/USD – Daily Chart

Looking at the chart, momentum has somewhat slipped, which comes as the RSI ran into an obstacle in the form of a resistance point.

Price strength failed to move beyond the aforementioned zone at 62.00, and as of writing, the RSI is tracking at 60.28.

In order to fully break into the $1,700 region, ETH bulls will first need to get over this ceiling at 62.00.
