Bitcoin (BTC) moved towards the $25,000 mark on Saturday, as the cryptocurrency markets rebounded from yesterday’s declines.
After a low of $23,712.05 on Friday, BTC/USD raced to an intraday high of $24,924.04 earlier in the day.
As a result of the move, bitcoin once again broke out of the long-term resistance at $24,200.
In addition, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) also moved above its resistance level of 65.00, after tracking near the 61.00 mark on Friday.
As of writing, price strength is currently at a reading of 65.29, with a cap at 70.00 a potential target for bulls on the rise.
The 10-day moving average (red) has also completely reversed course, and appears to be nearing a bullish crossover with its 25-day counterpart (blue).
If this happens, BTC could be above $26,000 before the end of the weekend.
Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) has climbed back above the $1,700 level to start the weekend, with the bulls back in the barn.
The ETH/USD pair soared to a high of $1,716.78 earlier in the day, which comes after less than 24 hours of trading as low as $1,656.28.
The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency climbed back above the $1,675 price cap after the move.
At the time of writing, previous gains have somewhat waned, as a result of the RSI hitting a ceiling at 63.00.
Since this collision, price strength is now hovering at a reading of 60.44, with Ethereum trading at $1,693.41.
If the bulls fail to clear this hurdle, ETH is unlikely to reclaim $1,700 this weekend.
