Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) is maintaining its position above the key support level at $1,850, as traders set their sights on reaching $1,900. After hitting a low of $1,851.73 on Sunday, ETH/USD has climbed to a peak of $1,884.14 earlier today. The second largest cryptocurrency has not traded above $1,900 for the past ten days.

Hot Take
Bitcoin and Ethereum are both showing positive signs, with bitcoin trading at its highest point in a week and Ethereum holding above a key support level. However, both cryptocurrencies face resistance levels on the RSI that could hinder further price increases. Traders will be closely watching these levels to see if BTC can reach $30,000 and if ETH can break through the $1,900 mark.
