The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, Ethereum (ETH) has been mirroring Bitcoin’s trade of late. When Bitcoin broke out of its symmetrical triangle range to trade past $11,000, Ethereum also breached past the triangular range pattern it was constricted to set highs of $395. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum saw selling pressure induced by BitMEX charges, President Trump’s coronavirus infection, and the recent OKEx withdrawals freeze.
As the entire crypto market regained stability after a blow dealt by the OKEx news, Ethereum bulls also regained strength to surmount the $380 key resistance level. The significance of the $380 level is seen as that which has determined several ETH trends in the last few months.
Bulls must seek now to flip this resistance into support as a breach beneath this level may pose downside risks for ETH.
ETH/USD Daily ChartEthereum (ETH) is presently at $380.
A renowned trader and crypto analyst believe the best time to buy ETH is December and January which is also corroborated by history. Historical indications noticed a Q4 Ethereum weakness in most instances to hit bottom lows in December and January, after which a massive rally took place.
Ethereum has been stuck in a bear trend since February 2018, trading beneath its $1,500 ATH. During this period, ETH price remained constricted within the $80 and $300 range. Later on this year, ETH breached past the $300 key level to trade at highs of $488 in August.
If the $300 level stays as support, he postulated the next levels of potential resistance at $600 and $775-$825 implying that Ethereum could surge more than 100% in the next bull run.
