This is marginally below an upcoming ceiling at 46.00, and slightly above a support point near the 41.00 region.

Additionally, the 10-day (red) moving average has maintained its downward course, further expanding bearish sentiment.

Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) remained below $1,800 to start the week, tracking close to a multi-month low in the process.

Following a high at $1,776.85 on Sunday, ETH/USD dropped to a bottom at $1,722.91 on Monday.

This pushed ethereum closer to the weekend’s low at $1,716, which was its weakest point since March 28.

As a result of this latest decline, ethereum’s 10-day (red) moving average has finally crossed over its 25-day (blue) counterpart.

In addition to this, the RSI is currently tracking at 38.00, which remains around the oversold region.

To move beyond this point, price strength will need to climb past the 40.00 zone, however a floor at 31.00 could still be on radar for sellers.
