Technical Analysis
Bitcoin -
Bitcoin has broken the ceiling of the falling trend in the short term, which indicates a slower initial falling rate. The currency has support at points 80000 and resistance at points 93000. The currency is assessed as technically slightly negative for the short term.

Ethereum - Ethereum shows weak development in a falling trend channel in the short term. This signals increasing pessimism among investors and indicates further decline for Ethereum. The currency has support at points 1870 and resistance at points 2740. Negative volume balance weakens the currency in the short term. The short term momentum of the currency is strongly positive, with RSI above 70. This indicates increasing optimism among investors and further price increase for Ethereum. However, particularly for big stocks, high RSI may be a sign that the stock is overbought and that there is a chance of a reaction downwards. The currency is overall assessed as technically negative for the short term.
