Ethereum Holds Above $1,300 And Continues Its Consolidation

Oct 10, 2022 at 19:22 // Price

The price of Ethereum (ETH) has fallen below the 21-day line SMA as the largest altcoin retargets current support.



Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bearish


On October 4, buyers tried to push Ether above the 21-day line SMA. The upward momentum continued as the price retested the resistance at $1,400. The cryptocurrency’s price failed to break through the resistance as the altcoin fell back into the range bound zone. 


Since September 21, the cryptocurrency value has been fluctuating between $1,220 and $1,400 price levels. The altcoin may fall to a low of $1,000 if sellers break the $1,220 support. Similarly, the largest altcoin will resume its uptrend if the bulls overcome the resistance at $1,400. This will push Ether to regain the previous highs of $1,800 and $2,030. 

Ethereum Indicator Analysis


The recent retracement has caused Ether to reach level 45 of the Relative Strength Index for period 14. Ether will continue to decline as the price bars are below the moving average lines. The largest altcoin is in bearish momentum below the 40% area of daily stochastics. The bearish momentum is unstable due to the doji candlesticks.
