BTC/USD – Daily Chart

Looking at the chart, the rebound in price comes as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) recently broke out of its resistance at 48.00.

As of writing, the index is tracking at 49.42, with the next visible resistance point near the 56.00 level.

Should price strength continue to move towards this point, we will likely see prices move towards the $20,000 mark.

Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) also surged to start the week, with the token climbing for a second straight session.

After a brief breakout below its floor of $1,275 on Saturday, ethereum has put together a run of back-to-back gains.

Today’s surge has seen the token hit a peak of $1,322.33, which comes a day after it was hovering around the $1,281.29 mark.
