Ethereum Price Analysis
What has been going on?
Etheruem is now up by a whopping 65% over the last month alone after breaking $3,000 today. The cryptocurrency had started April beneath the $2,000 level as it began to trade inside an ascending price channel. By mid-April, Ethereum had reached the upper boundary of this channel, around $2,500, and headed lower from there until support was found at the lower boundary again.
It rebounded from the lower boundary, around $2,000, last week as it started a bullish push higher. Toward the end of the week, ETH returned to the upper edge at approximately $2,800. It struggled to break this resistance until Saturday, when it broke above $2,800 and continued higher to $2,951 (1.414 Fib Extension).
It stalled at $2,951 yesterday but eventually surged past it today with the 10%+ price surge that allowed it to break $3,000 and push as high as $3,200.
Ethereum price short term prediction: Bullish
Etheruem remains strongly bullish right now and is a long way from turning bearish. To turn neutral, Etherue would have to drop beneath the support around $2,180 (.618 Fib Retracement). IT would have to continue beneath $2,000 and fall below $1,900 (200-day EMA & .786 Fib) to be in danger of turning bearish in the short term.
If the sellers push lower, the first support lies at $3,000. This is closely followed by $2,951, $2,811, and $2,657. Additional support lies at $2,573 (.382 Fib Retracement), $2,376 (.5 Fib Retracement), $2,179 (.618 Fib Retracement), and $2,000.
Where Is The Resistance Toward The Upside?
On the other side, the first resistance above $3,200 lies at $3,313 (1.618 Fib Extension). This is followed by $3,400, $3,500 (1.618 Fib Extension), and $3,600.
Beyond $3,600, resistance is expected at $3,750, $3,824 (1.618 Fib Extension - blue), $3,900, and $4,000.
What has been going on?
Etheruem is also performing very well against Bitcoin itself. The cryptocurrency had started trading at around ₿0.032 at the beginning of April, and it started to take off toward the middle of April once ₿0.036 was penetrated.
It then skyrocketed inside an ascending price channel until finding resistance at ₿0.0517 (1.414 Fib Extension level) toward the end of last week. It ended up dropping lower from there but quickly found support at ₿0.048 over the weekend, where it rebounded.
Yesterday, Ethereum penetrated beyond the ₿0.0517 resistance and continued higher today to break above ₿0.054 and reach the current ₿0.0542 level.
Ethereum price short term prediction: Bullish
Ethereum is still considered bullish in the short term. Ethereum would now need to drop beneath ₿0.046 (50-day EMA) to be in danger of turning neutral in the short term. The cryptocurrency would have to continue further beneath the support at ₿0.041 (100-day EMA) to be in danger of turning bearish again.
If the sellers do push lower, the first support is expected at ₿0.052. This is followed by support at ₿0.05 (.236 Fib Retracement), ₿0.048 (weekend support), and ₿0.0459 (.382 Fib Retracement).
