Ethereum (ETH) price analysis, January 30, 2021. Following a retest at $1,440 on January 29, Ethereum has been retracing for the past two days.

Ethereum Price Long-Term Analysis: Bullish

The altcoin has retraced and found support above $1,300 or above the 21-day SMA. Ethereum is trading at $1,339 at the time of writing. The price action is indicating small body candlesticks like Doji and Spinning tops.

The appearance of these candlesticks will mean that the biggest altcoin will consolidate above the current support. As Ether resumes consolidation above $1,300 support, the bulls have retested the $1,440 resistance thrice but unable to sustain the uptrend. However, buyers have been able to sustain recent rallies. Nonetheless, if the price breaks the $1,440 resistance, Ether will attain a new target price of $1,675. On the other hand, we expect the market to continue to fluctuate between $1,200 and $1,440.
