BTC/USD fell from $6,876.98 to $6,712.75 this Wednesday as it continues to consolidate in a triangle formation. The bearish price action dropped BTC/USD below the SMA 20 curve.

ETH/USD dropped from $152.82 to $151.45 in the early hours of Thursday. The price is consolidating in a triangle formation. The SMA 20 curve is holding steady and refusing to relent under pressure.
