Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Bulls Defending a Critical Support Following a Rejection at $2.6K
ETH/USD – Ether Remains Inside Consolidaiton Pattern
Key Support Levels: $2333, $2200, $2000.
Key Resistance Levels: $2470, $2600, $2700.
Ethereum attempted to break resistance at $2600 at the beginning of this week but fell short at the 20-day MA there. It rolled over from there on Tuesday and headed toward the lower boundary of the currency symmetrical triangle pattern.
ETH has been trading inside this triangle for almost a month, and a breakout of the pattern would determine the next direction for the market.
ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, the first support lies at $2333 (.5 Fib & the triangle’s lower boundary). This is followed by $2200 (.618 Fib), $2000 (Feb 2021 highs), and $1800.
On the other side, the first resistance lies at $2470 (100-day MA). This is followed by $2600, $2700 (triangles upper boundary), and $2800.
The RSI remains beneath the midline, indicating weak bearish momentum. If it dips beneath the 40 level, the increased bearish momentum is likely to drive ETH beneath the current triangle.
