Hideo Nakamura Bitcoin is starting the weekend close to the $30,000 mark as markets are still processing the recent U.S. nonfarm payrolls report. The payrolls result of 209,000, falling short of the anticipated 225,000, is causing some hesitation around a possible July interest rate increase. Meanwhile, Ethereum is persistently trading under $1,900 this Saturday.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) kicked off the weekend with a stabilization around the $30,000 level, in response to the latest U.S. nonfarm payrolls report.
BTC/USD slipped to an intraday low of $30,094.87, after achieving a one-year high above $31,000 just a day earlier.
There has been a slight rebound since the day’s earlier downtrend, with the current trading price at $30,240.85.
BTC/USD – Daily Chart
In general, it seems that a failed attempt to break above the 58.00 mark on the relative strength index (RSI) triggered this downturn.
The strength of the price is now trending at the 57.63 level, with the 55.00 level as a potential target for traders.
If it hits this point, there is a strong chance that BTC will dip below $30,000.
Ethereum
Like Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH) began the weekend with consolidation, as the digital asset fell under $1,900 once again.
After peaking at $1,957 on Thursday, ETH/USD hasn’t managed to climb above $1,900, with today’s plunge bringing the price down to $1,854.92.
Ever since achieving a two-month high on June 3, Ethereum has been struggling, with its price dwindling in successive sessions.

These consistent drops have driven the price strength down to a support level at 47.00. However, this support has so far held firm, aiding in curtailing further losses.
Currently, the index sits at a level of 49.59, with an upcoming resistance at 51.00 being the next hurdle for traders.
If they successfully overcome this, it’s probable that the price will once again climb above $1,900.
