Ahmed Ali On Monday, Ethereum made significant progress towards reaching the $2,000 mark, coinciding with a short but eventful week for US economic data due to the upcoming Independence Day celebrations. Some US markets will be closed, but once they reopen, investors will focus on key fundamentals such as the release of FOMC minutes and the non-farm payrolls report. Meanwhile, Bitcoin experienced a period of consolidation.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) remained in a consolidation phase, unable to break through a crucial resistance level for the third consecutive day.
During the day, BTC/USD reached a high of $30,789.11, just a day after flirting with a drop below $30,000.
Despite a marginal increase, BTC continued to struggle below the significant resistance level of $30,800 for the third session in a row.
This stagnation was partly due to the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) remaining below its own ceiling at 69.00.
Currently, the RSI stands at 66.64, maintaining a flat trend over the past few days.
It is likely that BTC will continue this pattern until US markets reopen after the Independence Day break.
Ethereum
On the other hand, Ethereum (ETH) started the week with steady gains, inching closer to the $2,000 threshold.
ETH/USD reached an intraday high of $1,973.64 on Monday, recovering from a low of $1,895.91 seen the previous day.
This rally allowed the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency to achieve its highest point since May 6.
Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum’s RSI surpassed the 60.00 hurdle, currently tracking at 62.69.
If this newfound momentum continues to strengthen, there is a high possibility that ETH will surpass $2,000 in the coming days.
Currently, ETH is trading at $1,964.20.
