Ethereum started the weekend trading below $1,900 for the first time in two weeks, as cryptocurrency markets continued to fall. The global market cap is down by close to 3% at the time of writing this. Bitcoin was also in red, as it moved closer to $27,000.

In addition to this, the relative strength index is now tracking at 41.73, which is marginally higher than its long-term floor at 41.00.
If price strength were to slip below this point, there is a good chance that BTC will move toward $26,000.

Although there is likely to be further declines in the coming days, once this current red wave passes, there may be a significant reversal.
