Selling pressure eased tonight, and by morning, the price consolidated in a narrow range in the support area of ​​$51,600. If buyers are able to seize the initiative, they will try to restore the pair to the level of $53,400. However, it will not be possible to gain a foothold above this level in small volumes.

In the event that the bearish onslaught strengthens, there is a danger of a breakout of the psychological level of $50,000 and a pullback to the area of $​​49,500.

Bitcoin is trading at $50,780 at press time.

ETH/USD

Yesterday in the first half of the day, buyers took advantage of the support at $1,660 and tried to restore the pair to a wide two-week corridor. However, the Ether price failed to break through the lower blue border of the sideways range. The two-hour EMA55, which was at that moment right on the border of the corridor, turned the pair down, and by the end of the day the Ethereum (ETH) price reached $1,600.
