The price of Ethereum (ETH) has resumed its uptrend and has risen above the 21-day moving average. Price analysis by Coinidol.com.
Long-term price analysis: bearish
The 21-day SMA currently represents resistance for the cryptocurrency’s price range. In other words, Ether is trading above the $2,200 support but below the 21-day moving average. The recent breakout will send the altcoin to its 50-day SMA high or the $3,000 mark.
However, the upside move will face initial resistance at $2,850. If ETH is rejected at its recent high, it will be trapped between the moving average lines.
On the downside, selling pressure will pick up again if the bears breach the 21-day moving average. The altcoin would then fall to its previous low above $2,200. It currently stands at $2,668.
