Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Plunges Below $300, But Gains Momentum Against Bitcoin

Ethereum has been slipping over the past 24 hours; dropping by a total of 4% back below the $300 mark, currently trades around $293. The recent price fall is mostly due to the past hours’ Bitcoin falling back toward the $11,000 (as of writing this).

Ethereum currently holds a $31.5 billion market cap value which puts it in second place amongst the top cryptocurrency projects by market cap valuation. The cryptocurrency has seen an epic 108% price explosion over the past three months – despite that the cryptocurrency was dropping against BTC.

Looking at the ETH/USD 1-Day Chart:

Since our previous ETH/USD analysis, we can see that ETH went on to spike higher into the resistance at the $360 level but was unable to hold at that level. Ethereum has since fallen and has recently dropped beneath $300.
From above: The nearest level of resistance now lies at the $300 level. This is followed with higher resistance at $315, $334 and $350. Above $350, further resistance lies at $360, $380 and $400.
From below: The nearest level of strong support lies at $280, which contains the short term .382 Fib Retracement. Beneath this, lower support can be found at $271, $250, $240, $235 and $229 (contains .618 Fib Retracement).
The trading volume has fallen drastically over the past few days following the spike toward the $360 level.
The Stochastic RSI has recently reached oversold conditions as we wait for a crossover signal above to indicate that the buyers are ready to push higher. However, the RSI itself has dropped beneath the 50 level, which could mean there will be more bearish momentum on the way.
