Bitcoin price

After a close below USD 9,400, bitcoin price extended its downside correction and traded below USD 9,250. BTC/USD even traded below the USD 9,150 support and tested the USD 9,000 level. The price is currently consolidating above the USD 9,000 support and it could either climb higher or extend its decline.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price started a fresh downside correction below the USD 188 and USD 185 support levels. ETH/USD tested the USD 180 support and it is currently consolidating. If there are more losses, the price could test the USD 175 support.
