Ethereum Technical Analysis
Ethereum found strong bids near the $2,800 zone. ETH price started a decent upward move above the $3,000 resistance and recovered some losses, like Bitcoin.
Looking at the daily chart, the price climbed above the $3,150 resistance. There was a spike above the 50% Fib retracement level downward move from the $3,724 swing high to the $2,807 low.
The price is now stable above the 100-day simple moving average (red) and the 200-day simple moving average (green). However, it is facing resistance near a key bearish trend line at $3,400 on the daily chart.
The trend line is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level downward move from the $3,724 swing high to the $2,807 low. A daily close above the $3,400 resistance zone could start a steady increase. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise toward the $3,725 level. The next stop for the bulls may perhaps be near the $4,000 level.
If not, the price might start another decline and test the $3,120 support level. The next major support is near $3,025, below which the price could slide toward $2,800.
Looking at gold prices, the bulls were active near the $2,390 and the bulls might now aim for a fresh increase in the near term.
