Key Levels
Resistance Levels: $750, $700, $680
Support Levels: $535, $480, $450
ETH/USD Daily Chart: Bullish
ETH/USD Daily Chart
As seen on the daily chart, the ETH price is in the bulls’ territory. In a further move, the next target of $700 may be attained, although the bulls may encounter subtle resistance at $680. The upsloping MAs and the RSI above midline signal that the path of least resistance is to the upside. A sustained move past $700 will cause a test of $720 and $750 levels.
On the flip side, if the price turns down from the present levels or fails to break past the $700 resistance zone, the first anchor may be envisaged at $636 which was flipped into support. If it fails to hold, supports could be seen at $535, and the MA 50 close at $516. A further downside attempt will bring the $480 support into the picture from where the price may rebound.
ETH/USD 4-Hour Chart: Bullish
ETH/USD 4-Hour Chart
ETH bulls slowed down on the approach to $680 near term resistance. A close above $650 may signal that ETH’s bullish outlook remains. On the upside, a sustained break above $700 will kickstart the journey to $800. On the downside, the critical support comes at $580 which coincides with the 4 hour MA 50 close. The immediate bullish outlook will be invalidated if ETH plunges beneath this region.
In this scenario, ETH may be forced to seek the next buyer congestion zone at $555 where the MA 200 is situated. The ETH/USD pair is only bullish while trading beyond the $535 level around the MA 200, key resistance is found at the $680 and the $700 levels. If the ETH/USD pair trades beneath the $535, sellers may test the $480 and $425 prior support cluster.
