- If the RSI moves beyond 29.00, more bulls may enter the market.
Ethereum

- ETH/USD is currently below a support point of $1,650.

Hot Take
Bitcoin and Ethereum both experienced some fluctuations in response to Jerome Powell’s comments. While Bitcoin shows signs of potential bullish reentry, Ethereum needs a stronger surge to shift momentum upwards.
