The Ethereum price action is trending below the 21-day, 50-day, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMA), while the relative strength index (RSI) is at 39 and rising.

On the other hand, Solana price is trending inside an ascending triangle in the 4-hour time frame and is currently at the bottom trendline.
