Bitcoin and Ethereum, two leading cryptocurrencies, are displaying divergent price patterns as the market awaits the U.S. nonfarm payrolls (NFP) report. The price behavior of these digital assets could be significantly influenced by the forthcoming payroll data.

Bitcoin is nearing a crucial resistance level, after reaching a peak at $27,875.59 earlier this week. Its Relative Strength Index (RSI), a technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses, is currently hovering just below 63.00. This suggests potential volatility in the Bitcoin market in the near future.

On the other hand, Ethereum's price trajectory has been on a downward slope for the fourth day in a row as of today, Thursday. Its RSI is slightly under 50.00, indicating that it's inching towards a support point. This suggests that Ethereum might be facing selling pressure in the market.

The U.S. nonfarm payrolls report is a closely watched economic indicator that could have significant implications for cryptocurrency valuations. The anticipation of this data release appears to be influencing the market dynamics of both Bitcoin and Ethereum. As these digital assets continue to evolve in their respective patterns, market participants remain vigilant over the potential impact of economic indicators on cryptocurrency prices.
