Kofi Mensah Bitcoin hovered around the $30,000 mark to initiate the weekend, with traders striving to establish a reliable price base on Saturday. Market turbulence has been the norm over the previous week, with recent winners cashing in, in the wake of the XRP-inspired bullish surge. Ethereum lingered under the $1,900 mark on Saturday.
Bitcoin
As the weekend started, Bitcoin (BTC) hovered around the $30,000 mark, with markets experiencing consolidation after recent price fluctuations.
BTC/USD reached an intraday peak of $30,046.00, coming after an earlier low point of $29,746.12.
This uptick helped Bitcoin regain a recent support point of $29,800, which has remained relatively stable over the past week.
BTC/USD – Daily Chart
The stability can be partly attributed to the relative strength index (RSI), which is lingering near its own support level at 49.00.
At present, the price strength is at 49.77, with the next noticeable resistance level appearing at the 50.00 mark.
For BTC to surpass the $30,000 mark, it must first breach this RSI limit.
Ethereum
Similarly, Ethereum experienced a period of consolidation in today’s trading session, with the cryptocurrency persisting below $1,900.
After peaking at $1,905.39 on Friday, ETH/USD slid down to a low of $1,885.30 earlier today.
In a pattern similar to BTC, the dip in Ethereum’s value brought the cryptocurrency down to a critical support level of $1,880 to kick off the weekend.

This takes place as the price strength lingers around its own base near the 50.00 mark, which has been consistent since the week began.
Despite this, it appears that the 10-day (red) moving average is still trending upward, although this could start to shift in the upcoming days.

Thanks for the report. BTC to the moon! But seriously, hope the consolidation phase ends soon.
Ethereum’s being super steady under 1900. Still feels like we’re on the brink of another breakout, you know what I mean?
This is some solid analysis. Good to see BTC holding firm at 30k. fingers crossed for the RSI break.
so the 10-day moving average is trending up, huh? Could be a good sign…
Great stuff, but what about other cryptos? Anyone got thoughts on XRP after the recent bull run?
