Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: Ethereum Nears $1,400, as Price Hits 10-Day High

Bitcoin (BTC) was once again hovering above $20,000 on Thursday, as markets were boosted by better than expected private payrolls figures.

Ahead of tomorrow’s non-farm payrolls report, ADP private sector payrolls came in at 208,000, higher than the 200,000 markets had expected.

Following the report, BTC/USD rose to a high of $20,408.39, staying close to a three week high of $20,545 in the process. BTC/USD – Daily Chart

Looking at the chart, today’s surge has pushed the momentum of the 10-day (red) moving averages higher, with the trend line now nearing an upwards cross with its 25-day (blue) counterpart.

As of writing, BTC is now trading marginally below its long-term support level of $20,300, which has mostly been in place since September 13.

In order to move beyond this point, the 14-day relative strength index will need to move past its currency ceiling of 55.60. Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) moved to a ten day high in today’s session, as bulls continued to push prices towards the $1,400 mark.

Following a low of $1,320.86 on Wednesday, ETH/USD rose to a peak of $1,380.40 earlier in today’s session.

This is the strongest point that the token has traded at since September 27, which is also when ethereum was last above $1,400. ETH/USD – Daily Chart

As of writing this, ETH bulls have given up some earlier gains, with the token currently trading at $1,368.

The decline comes as the RSI collided with resistance of 47.00, which has also been in place since mid-September.

Once this obstacle has been finally overcome, then the world’s second largest crypto token will likely be back above $1,400.
