Bitcoin (BTC) fell below the $28,000 level on Friday, as markets consolidated ahead of a key day of economic data.

BTC/USD slipped to an intraday low of $27,583.72 in today’s session, which comes a day after the price rose to a high of $28,683.53.

The decline came as traders were unable to sustain a breakout above the $28,500 level, following a nine-month high the day prior. Bitcoin chart by TradingView

Overall, it appears that earlier bulls moved to secure gains, as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) collided with a ceiling at 65.00.

As of writing, the index is tracking at the 60.84 level, which is marginally above a lower floor at 59.00.

BTC is now trading at $27,928.58, however there will likely be some movement following this afternoon’s data release. Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) was once again trading below $1,800, as prices failed to breakout from a recent key resistance point.

Following a high of $1,827.28 on Thursday, ETH/USD fell to an intraday low of $1,766.25 in today’s session.

Friday’s sell-off transpired as ETH bulls were unable to move beyond a long-term ceiling at $1,830. Ethereum chart by TradingView

The world’s second largest cryptocurrency is now trading at $1,795.69, which seemingly suggests that some bullish sentiment still remains in the market.

This seems to be a result of price strength failing to drop below a floor at 52.00, and it has since moved to a reading at 57.35.

Should the RSI surge past the 58.00 mark, which is the next visible point of resistance, then ETH will likely be back above $1,800.
