Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH At Crical Level, Breaks Below 0.021BTC

Ethereum has struggled this week after losing a total of 21%, causing the price to drop to the $216 level. ETH fell beneath $200 but managed to find strong support at $193, where we saw a rebound.

ETH remains the second-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $23.28 billion. The cryptocurrency had been on a tear against the USD but this was largely caused by Bitcoin’s aggressive growth. On the other hand, it struggled heavily against BTC and has created fresh multi-year lows.

Looking at the ETH/USD 1-Day Chart:

Since our previous ETH/USD analysis, ETH dropped beneath the support at the $225 level and continued lower. It eventually founds support at $193 which contains the short term .786 Fibonacci Retracement level. After reaching this level, Ethereum rebounded back toward the resistance at the 200 days EMA.
From above: If the bulls can break above the $220 resistance, further higher resistance then lies at $229 and $240. The resistance at $240 is strengthened by the 100 days EMA. The next levels of resistance above $240 are located at $254, $279, and $300.
From below: The nearest level of support now lies between $202 and $200. If the sellers drop the market beneath $200, the next level of strong support is located at $193. Below $193, further support lies at $180, $178, $165, and $150.
The trading volume has surged during the middle of the month but has started to decrease again.
The Stochastic RSI has recently produced a bullish crossover signal in oversold conditions as we wait for the moving average to expand to confirm that a push higher is about to commence. The RSI itself is beneath 50 which shows that the bears are still in control of the market momentum.
