Ethereum is Holding Gains
This past week, bitcoin and ethereum saw a steady increase above $1,700 and $45,000 respectively against the US Dollar. ETH traded to a new all-time high near $1,870 before it started a short-term downside correction.
The price traded below the $1,800 and $1,780 support levels. However, the bulls were active above the $1,750 level. A low is formed near $1,761 and the price is currently consolidating well above the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
It is testing the $1,820 resistance level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent correction from the $1,870 high to $1,761 low. There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support near $1,800 on the 4-hours chart of ETH/USD.
On the upside, the first key resistance is near the $1,840 level. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent correction from the $1,870 high to $1,761 low might also act as a resistance.
The next major resistance on the upside is near the $1,870 high. A clear break above the $1,850 and $1,870 levels will most likely open the doors for a steady increase. The next major target for the bulls in the near term could be the $2,000 handle.
Dips Supported in Ether (ETH)?
If Ethereum struggles to gain pace above the $1,850 level, it could correct lower. The first major support on the downside is near the trend line support and $1,800.
A downside break below the trend line support may possibly call for an extended decline below the $1,761 low. The next major support is near the $1,640 level or the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
