ETH/USD Daily ChartAs seen on the daily chart, the ETH downtrend remained visible since the peak traded on October 22 at $421.47. After a price rejection, ETH breakdown was steady till it reached lows below $380. If the sellers successfully breach beneath the MA 50 coinciding at $370, a push below the ascending trendline may cause ETH to test the support at $360. If the support at $360 caves, ETH could plunge to $335 and $300 where the MA 200 is presently situated.
On the flip side, recovery may ensue as the RSI is presently at midline if the price rebounds above the MA 50 support to reach past $390. This area may be an easy target for the bulls. However, a sustainable move above $420 is required to reinforce a bullish scenario. Once this hurdle is out of the way, ETH can quickly retest $450 and $500.
ETH/USD 4-Hour ChartEthereum appears vulnerable to further losses after the coin moved below the psychological $380 mark. As seen in the short time frame, ETH rebounded from the channel support at $370 coinciding with the 4 hours MA 200 to trade at its recent price. If it is broken, the sell-off may gain traction with the next focus on short term support at $360 and further at $335.
In the event of a rebound beyond the $380 marks then the ETH/USD pair could easily test back above the $400 resistance zone. The ETH/USD pair is only bullish while exchanging beyond the $370 level, key resistance is found at the $390 and the $400 levels. If the ETH/USD pair trades beneath $370, the $360 and $335 support levels may be tested by sellers.
