Ethereum price long-term analysis: bullish


Buyers have twice failed to keep the price above $4,800, as Ether is trading above the moving average lines. If the price of the cryptocurrency rises above $4,800, the altcoin will go up above the high of $5,000. In addition, a price indicator suggests that the cryptocurrency will continue to rise.


On August 19, a bearish candlestick tested the 78.6% Fibonacci level. The retracement suggests that the cryptocurrency will continue its uptrend, but then reverse at the 1,272 Fibonacci extension level, which is at $5,429.63. Ether is at $44,660.50 at the time of writing.

What is the next move for ETH?


Ethereum is still in an uptrend, but the upward movement is limited by the $4,800 mark. On the 4-hour chart, Ether is trading in a narrow range between the $4,000 support and the $4,900 high. The price of the cryptocurrency is moving in the middle of its price range.


On the downside, a break below the $4,000 support will lead to renewed selling pressure on Ether. The rally will continue above the $4,800 high if buyers are successful.
