However, by the end of the day, the pair failed to consolidate above the two-hour EMA55 and returned to the support of $32,600. Until this morning, the pair remained in a tight consolidation at the level of this support. On the daily time frame, the Stoch RSI indicator lines were in the oversold zone and gradually reached the border with the neutral zone.

Bitcoin is trading at $30,990 at press time.

ETH/USD

Yesterday, Ethereum's (ETH) price held above $1,400 for a long time but, at the end of the day, the bears pushed this support and rolled back the pair to the area of average prices ($1,300).

If the two-hour EMA55 keeps the Ether price from further decline, bulls will try to continue the run in the near future and renew the absolute maximum in the area of $1,530.

Otherwise, the price correction may continue to the support of $1,250.

Ethereum is trading at $1,265 at press time.

Yesterday, buyers unsuccessfully tried to overcome the resistance of the lower border of the $0.280-$0.310 side channel. At the end of the day, the pair rolled back below the average price level. Today, it can test the support of $0.260.
