Ethereum Holds Over $3,200 as Buyer and Sellers Remain Indifference

Today, August 16, 2021, Ethereum price (ETH) has reached the high of $3,322 but is on the verge of rejection.

Ethereum Price Long-Term Analysis: Bullish

The largest altcoin is likely to fall back to the low of $3,220 before resuming its upward movement. The recent retracement is not unrelated to Ether's overbought condition. The uptrend will continue if the price retraces and finds support above $3,220. On the upside, a break above $3,340 will push Ether to reach the high of $3,400. However, if buyers fail to break the recent high, the cryptocurrency asset will remain in a trading range below the resistance zone. 

Meanwhile, the largest altcoin is trading in the overbought zone, while Ether is trading marginally.

Ethereum Indicator Analysis 

Ethereum is trading in an ascending channel. The cryptocurrency will rise as long as the price bars above the moving averages. However, if the price falls below the support line, selling pressure will resume. The market will resume its upward momentum when the price breaks above the resistance line of the ascending channel. Ethereum is at level 69 of the Relative Strength Index of period 14. The cryptocurrency has no room for an upward rally.

Technical Indicators: 

Major Resistance Levels - $4,000 and $4,500

Important Support Levels - $3,000 and $2,500 

What is the next direction for Ethereum? 

The market is likely to move back up as the cryptocurrency consolidates above the $3,200 support. Meanwhile, the August 16 uptrend has retraced a candlestick that tested the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. The retracement suggests that Ethereum will rise but reverse at the 1,272 Fibonacci extension level or the $3,398.76 level.
