Bitcoin
BTC hit a three-week high on Friday as the market is expected to release its latest non-farm payroll report.
After hitting a low of $20,382.89 on Thursday, BTC/USD reached an intraday peak of $22,314.94 earlier today.
The move saw bitcoin climb to its highest point since June 16, when the price was declining from the $30,000 area.
Earlier gains have turned lower, as bitcoin is now tracking $21,581.56, as the price was unable to break the $22,070 resistance point.
This comes as a sealing of 48.50 was also held on the 14-day RSI indicator, with the bulls deciding to exit their positions at that point of time.
If BTC is to continue its rally over the weekend, relative strength must first rise above this current barrier.
Ethereum

ETH/USD was at a high of $1,262.89 on Friday, its highest price since June 26.
Similar to BTC, today’s move saw ETH climb above a key $1,260 resistance point, which has been an area of uncertainty in recent weeks.
Since reaching that high, the price has dropped, and as of writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,227.74.
Although the price is trading slightly lower now, the coin is still up 3.55% from yesterday’s low of $1,181.12.
