Ethereum was in the red on Tuesday, as bears reentered the market following a failed breakout of a key resistance level. Prices failed to sustain yesterday’s move above $1,300, with momentum slipping in today’s session. Bitcoin was also lower, however is trading above $17,000 as of writing.
Bitcoin (BTC) was consolidating in today’s session, as prices retreated from Monday’s three-week high.
Following a peak of $17,371.00 to start the week, BTC/USD fell to an intraday low of $16,922.43 earlier in the day.
This decline comes as traders have seemingly moved to secure gains, following yesterday’s surge in price.

Should a breakout occur, it is likely that BTC will move back towards the $17,400 point in upcoming days.
