Bitcoin (BTC) slipped below $19,000 to start the week, as sentiment in the market remained bearish following last week’s interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Following a weekend of consolidation, BTC/USD fell to a low of $18,696.47 on Monday, less than 24 hours after trading at a peak of $19,274.87.

Today’s decline pushes bitcoin closer to its long-term support level of $18,300, which was last hit on Wednesday, following the United States FOMC meeting.

Wéi am Schreiwen, BTC has marginally moved away from the aforementioned low, and is currently trading at $18,942.88

Bears look set to recapture this floor, and should this happen, we will likely see the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading at a three-month low.

In order for sentiment to shift, bulls will likely need to move beyond a ceiling of 44.00 on the 14-day relative strength index (RSI).

Ethereum

Ethereum (ENG)ETH) was trading lower on Monday, as the token continued to linger below the $1,300 level.

No engem Héichpunkt vun $ 1,330.44 um Sonndeg, ETH/USD ass op en Intraday niddereg vun $1,275.63 fréier haut gefall.

This move comes as the RSI failed to break out of a key ceiling of 39.00, leading to an increase of bearish pressure.

The 10-day (red) moving average also continues to move downward versus its 25-day (blue) counterpart, which is yet another sign of bearish intent.

It appears that bears could be targeting the floor of $1,215, and should they succeed in hitting this point, may begin to slowly exit their positions.

Wéi am Schreiwen, ETH is trading at $1,314.92, as bulls attempt to battle against the sell-off.
