The leading cryptocurrency hit the 100-day EMA on the daily chart after testing the $10,000 horizontal support for the third consecutive day. The move resulted in 12.3 percent of price correction for the previous seven-day period.
On Monday, September 7, the BTC/USD pair continued to rise and successfully reached $10,375. The closely situated $10,360 mark was the previous 2020 high, so it can be considered a major S/R line. In the earlier hours of trading bitcoin temporarily fell below the mentioned $10k line, which proofed that bear pressure was still significant.
The trading day on Tuesday confirmed that statement as the coin dropped down to $10,127 loosing 2.3 percent while drawing a descending triangle formation on both the 4-hour and the daily chart.
The mid-week session on Wednesday, September 9 was a positive one for buyers as the price of BTC moved out of the mentioned figure and formed a green candle to $10,233 and also touched $10,360 during intraday.
The 24-hour volumes were moving decreased from $28 to $22 billion on average for the first three days of the workweek, temporarily jumping to $47 billion on various occasions.
ETH/USD
The Ethereum Project token ETH climbed up to $353 on Sunday, September 6 after rebounding from the weekly support zone near $315. The ether grew by 5.3 percent but still closed the previous week with an 18.4 percent loss.
The ETH/USD pair stabilized near the above-mentioned level on Monday and remained flat at the end of the session.
On Tuesday, September 8 sellers successfully pushed the price down to $337 not allowing it to break above the solid S/R zone at $360. The leading altcoin was now caught in the $360-$320 range, best visible on the lower timeframes (4-hour for instances for those looking for a price trigger to trade on the daily chart).
The third day of the workweek brought another upward movement for ETH as it climbed up to $352. Even though it could mark the beginning of a price recovery, the current setup also has the potential to evolve into a bearish rising wedge formation after the big selloff on September 5. The pattern could lead to another re-test of the $315 level in the coming days. Further pullback can be supported by the red wave hitting the legacy markets.
