Bitcoin (BTC) was back in the red on Wednesday, as markets reacted to comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

Speaking on Tuesday evening, Powell stated that more regulation is needed in the crypto market, with recent declines in price highlighting “structural issues.”

Following the remarks, BTC/USD slipped to an intraday low of $18,553.30 earlier in the session, less than a day after hitting a peak of $20,338.46.

As a result of today’s sell-off, bitcoin moved closer to its key support point of $18,300. However, bulls have responded, pushing price away from this level.

Ethereum

Bitcoin wasn’t the only token impacted by Powell’s comments, with ethereum (ETH) also trading lower in today’s session.

The world’s second largest cryptocurrency fell to an intraday low of $1,267.87 on Wednesday, hitting a one-week low in the process.

Following a string of bearish sessions over the past fortnight, ETH/USD has recently moved into consolidation territory.

As can be seen from the chart, this has been between a support point of $1,230 and a resistance level of $1,300.

It seems that this sideways action has helped to curb a high level of bearish momentum, with the 10-day (red) moving average appearing to have found a bottom.

Should this be the case, it is likely that we will see further consolidation in coming weeks, with the potential for a rally at some point in October.
