Bitcoin Trades Above $9,000, While Ethereum at $188; Create a Mirage

Bitcoin vs Ethereum News Bitcoin vs Ethereum News
  • Bitcoin takes a leap above $9,000, testing major support
  • Ethereum also exhibits an upward stride; tests major resistance near $190 and $192
  • BTC rises steeply, while ETH takes steep steps to test resistance at $190 and then $192

Bitcoin after trading below $9,000 for the past 2 days is again above $9,000–testing the major resistance, today. However, BTC has still not hit the major resistance level around $9,500–giving the new 7-day high. Although giving a sigh of relief to its investors, BTC trades above $9,000.

On the other hand, Ethereum tested the resistance levels one after the other, starting from $190 and then at $192. However, it could not hold tight and is currently trading below $190 at $188.63, gaining grounded support from the short-term moving averages.

Gaining support from the 10-day SMA, Bitcoin at the time of writing was trading at $9,010.60.

Likewise, if we compare the ETH/USD movement at the onset of November 11, 2019, we see that the coin had tested all the major resistances at $190 and $192. Unable to hold, Ethereum at the time of writing was trading at $188.43, gaining support from 5-day and 10-day moving averages around $186.

Therefore, we consider this upsurge as a mirage and believe that both the coin will fall back below their major supports, i.e. $9,000 and $186 (as ETH/USD at the time of writing was already trading below $190).
