A New Swap Code Between Bitcoin & Ethereum Now Available

Technical Points: Ethereum ETH/USD
Looking at Ethereum’s daily chart as traded versus the US dollar, the ETH/USD pair finally confirmed above the daily Ichimoku cloud on Wednesday. However, the future cloud remains flat, and slightly on the bearish side. The candlesticks themselves appear to be in a consolidation mode, moving between a narrow range of 313 and 286.
A break above the pivot level of 313 could be our second bullish confirmation which could open doors for Ethereum prices to move higher once again, towards the all-time-high resistance level of 393.
Medium-term support is set at 224, the level Ethereum tested back in September. The level has previously acted as a resistance, which makes it stronger of a support.
