Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: Crypto Uncertainty Continues, as BTC Drops Again

https://motleybloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/bitcoin-ethereum-technical-analysis-crypto-uncertainty-continues-as-btc-drops-again.jpg

Crypto prices continued to seesaw on Friday, as both bitcoin and ethereum fell into the red, after a short lived rally on Thursday. Bitcoin was once again below $40,000 during the session, while ethereum extended its recent spell of trading below $3,000.


Bitcoin


Bitcoin (BTC) once again fell below the $40,000 level on Friday, following a short stint in the green during yesterday’s session.


Following a peak of $40,269.47 on Thursday, BTC/USD fell to an intraday low of $38,698.16 earlier today.


This comes as BTC was unable to climb above resistance of $40,500, as bullish momentum eased, which was likely a result of traders closing positions.

Now that we are back in the red, the first thought would be for how long, with some likely to be targeting the $37,570 floor as a potential exit point.


Looking at the chart, the 14-day RSI has also changed course, and is now tracking at a floor of its own marginally below 43.


If price strength were to continue to fall beyond this point, we could see this shift in momentum entice even more bears to re-enter the market.



Ethereum


Bears, however, were already back in ethereum (ETH), as the world’s second largest cryptocurrency fell on Friday, following two days of gains.


ETH/USD found a bottom of $2,841.23 earlier today, as prices continued to trade below $3,000 for a third consecutive session.


Thursday saw ETH climb to a peak of $2,973.13, however, these gains were unable to continue following a breakout of the $2,950.00 ceiling.

As of writing this, ethereum is currently down by 1.08%, and is trading at $2,872.80, with bears likely targeting a floor of $2,780.


Should this floor be hit in the next few sessions, we would see ETH ending the week, at the same level it started, for the second week in a row.


Overall, crypto markets continue to be volatile, with some putting the current uncertainty down to the outcome of the upcoming Fed rate hike decision.


Could we see ethereum rally beyond $3,000 at some point this weekend? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

P2P Bitcoin Traders in Nigeria Think Outside the Box in the Wake of CBN Restrictions

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions. As shown in one local report , one such legal way is through an app created by one local crypto start-up, Patricia. According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this repor...
