According to the charts, Bitcoin remains in a bearish consolidation, after its rejection from $44,700.

Bitcoin currently trades at $41,100 and is only a few inches from breaking below this crucial support. In terms of how low Bitcoin can go, analysts have varying opinions from $40,000 to $38,000 and even $31,000.
However, Bitcoin so far, has normalized on the RSI and currently sits at about 54. This points towards neutrality in the market and the possibility of the bulls retaking control soon.
Only A Few Inches More For Ethereum
According to the charts, Ethereum is only a few more dollars away from breaking below the crucial $2,150 support.

So far, nothing seems to be holding Ethereum back from this fate, and investors need to brace up for a possible decline to $2,000 at least if this breakdown occurs.
Like Bitcoin, however, Ethereum is showing signs of normalization on the RSI, leading us to believe that a bullish intervention is still entirely possible.
