ETH/USD Daily Chart: Bullish

ETH/USD Daily Chart

A high barrier around the daily MA 50 amid fresh losses that began on Thursday now limits the Ethereum price upside. In the first week of July the push to lift to $250 lost momentum at $245. ETH/USD continues to hold support over $230 while exchanging at $234.94. Ether’s rebound from its support is strong enough to breach the MA 50 barrier despite the earlier retreat.

Ethereum may be viewed to be within a consolidating channel from this phase even though the $230 level has been reached. Bulls may once more ascend beyond the daily MA 50 and breach $245 to validate a daily uptrend. Ethereum may probably spend the weekend session on consolidation from a technical standpoint.

ETH/USD 4-Hour Chart

As observed on the 4-hour time frame, Ethereum is attempting to create traction on the upside as the asset continues to track Bitcoin’s price swings tightly. To enable short-term technical buying, ETH/USD bulls have to push price back into the market channel, around the $250.00 mark. Dip-buyers still can be bullish towards the ETH/USD pair once price trades beyond the support level of $230.00.

The Relative Strength Index on the 4-hour chart, furthermore, keeps rising beyond 50, leading to a near-term neutral trend. The ETH/USD pair is only bullish once trading beyond $230.00 level, the main resistance at $250.00 is identified.  Once the ETH /USD pair exchanges beneath $230.00, sellers may test the support levels of $220.00 and $200.00.
