Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Bulls Stopped by $475 Resistance, is $500 Still In Play?
ETH/USD – Ethereum Stalled By September High-Day Closing Price
Key Support Levels: $445, $439, $430.
Key Resistance Levels: $475, $490, $500.
Ethereum managed to surge higher from the resistance at $462.50 (bearish .886 Fib) yesterday as it pushed into the $475 resistance provided by the September High-Day closing price. Unfortunately, the coin was unable to continue further above $475 and has since dropped to the $460 level.
Despite today’s healthy price drop, Ethereum is still in a bullish trend after it created the fresh November highs at $475 yesterday. Once this level is breached, ETH could be well on the way to breaking the $500 level once again.
ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, if the buyers can regroup and push higher, the first level of resistance lies at $475. Above this, resistance is expected at $490, $500, and $511.
On the other side, if the selling continues beneath $460, additional support lies at $445, $439 (August 2018 Highs), $430, and $421.
There is some bearish divergence between the RSI and price action. As ETH makes a higher high, the RSI made a lower high to signal the divergence and a potential retracement incoming. Additionally, the Stochastic RSI is in overbought conditions and is primed for a bearish crossover signal.
