Bitcoin
Bitcoin hit its highest level in three weeks on Tuesday, as the world’s largest cryptocurrency broke above the $43,000 level.
Following a low of $40,850.91 during Monday’s session, BTC/USD rose to an intraday high of $43,389 during today’s session.
This is the highest level BTC has traded since March 3, when prices were down from a high of over $45,000.
Tuesday’s surge in price comes as the 14-day RSI moved past its recent ceiling of 54.40, and is now tracking at 57.7, which is another multi-week high.
Looking at the chart, today’s move sent prices near a short-term resistance level of $43,425, which triggered a pullback as the bulls likely got some gains.
The 10-day and 25-day moving averages have also continued to extend recent upwards momentum, which could be a good sign for bulls targeting $45,000 in upcoming days.
Ethereum
ETH was up 2.3% at the time of writing as the world’s second largest cryptocurrency extended its recent gains
On Tuesday, ETH/USD hit an intraday high of $3,022.21, as prices marginally moved beyond the long-term resistance level of $3,020.
The move means Ethereum is now almost 20% higher over the past seven days, after a run that has seen it win for 8 of the last 9 sessions.
Price strength has also peaked, with the 14-day RSI indicator now tracking above 60, which is the highest it has been since February 9.
However, now that we are relatively overbought and prices are trading at a historically bearish resistance level, the stage could be set for a reversal.
