Kofi Mensah As the weekend commenced, Bitcoin oscillated near the $30,000 threshold, fueled by sustained market optimism over the prospect of an imminent ETF approval.

Meanwhile, Ethereum experienced a dip from its high point on Friday.

Bitcoin
Bitcoin saw marginal declines, staying just under the $30,000 mark on Saturday, as a segment of bullish investors opted to cash in on the week’s gains.
After reaching a zenith of $30,104.09 on Friday, the BTC/USD pair declined to a session low of $29,816.64.
Despite this downward adjustment, Bitcoin’s value remained above the previous day’s low, which was recorded at $29,376.12.
BTC/USD – Daily Chart
A deceleration in upward movement is noted, as the relative strength index (RSI) persists in the overbought region, currently registering at 73.17.
This marks the highest point for the index since February and has prompted some traders to anticipate a potential market correction.
If such a downturn materializes in the upcoming days, bearish investors may attempt to exert downward pressure on Bitcoin, aiming for a support level around $29,000.
Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) similarly saw a minor downturn as the weekend began, but has managed to stay above the $1,600 mark.
The ETH/USD pair touched a low of $1,593.45 earlier in the day, before bullish activity propelled it to a high of $1,610.11.
Collectively, the market sentiment among Ethereum traders appears to be aimed at achieving a long-term support level at $1,650, suggesting that the day’s retracement could merely be a temporary setback on the path to this target.
ETH/USD – Daily Chart
In contrast to Bitcoin, Ethereum’s price strength index has not yet entered the overbought zone and currently stands at 51.76.
This is just above the key resistance level of 50.00, with the next significant resistance expected at around the 60.00 mark.
Should bullish investors successfully drive the asset to this resistance point, it is highly likely that Ethereum will trade beyond $1,650.

Wow, so we’re possibly looking at a pullback for BTC? maybe i should hold off buying more for now. What u guys think?
Good stuff, but don’t forget the ETF approval isn’t a sure thing. regulatory stuff is always tricky you know.
eth seems more stable at the moment, maybe its the better bet for short-term gains? I’m considering shifting some of my btc.
Slight declines are no big deal in the volatile world of crypto. Long term holders like me aren’t too worried. Keep the analysis coming.
Excellent breakdown. the focus on RSI is good, but what about MACD or Bollinger bands? Would love to see those in future reports.
Great analysis guys, really helpful for a trader like me. But I gotta say, the RSI seems a bit unreliable lately. Any thoughts on that?
Super informative. I’ve been holding my ETH and looking at that 1650 mark for a while now. Let’s see how it goes!
New to this and your article is a lifesaver. But can someone explain what the ‘overbought’ territory means?
