ETH/USD Daily Chart: Bullish

ETH/USD Daily Chart

The daily chart’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is anticipating 80, indicating that Ethereum may hesitate to sustain its bullish traction and trigger a technical reversal in the near-term once it reaches the overbought mark. However, as long as it ends the week beyond $230, ETH/USD may probably stay bullish.

A constant resistance overlaps beyond the level at $240 besides $250 range (psychological level / high Feb 27). At the other side of the coin, preceding $206 (ascending trendline peak), and $200 (psychological level), $220 (daily low) may be seen as initial technical support. While the distance between MA 200 as well as MA 50 widened, buyers steadily increased holding their positions. Certain technical metrics including the pattern of the candle holds for optimistic traction.

ETH/USD 4-Hour Chart: Bullish

ETH/USD 4-Hour Chart

Ethereum is attempting to rally back to the monthly high of March levels, even as the second-largest cryptocurrency accelerates beyond the $230.00 mark. On the 4-hour time frame, however, the RSI is overbought and a short-term reversal may be set in for the pair. The resistance levels of $240.00 and $250.00 are the main upward targets at which ETH/USD bulls focus. Continued increases in the BTC/USD pair towards the $10,000 mark for the Ethereum is first deemed positive because of its strong correlation.

The ETH/USD pair is only bullish whilst exchanging beyond the level of $220.00, the main resistance is seen at levels around $240.00 and $250.00. Once the ETH/USD pair sells underneath the $220.00, sellers are allowed to test the support levels of $190.00 and $174.52. Once the analytical context improves or remains the same, there is a chance that Ethereum may exit the week beyond $230 and shift the focus to $250.
