Ether Price Recovers, But Faces The $4,000 Barrier

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bearish

Since March 8, buyers have made several attempts to keep the price above the psychological $4,000 level, as reported by Coinidol.com. On the downside, the decline has slowed above the $3,400 support. However, if the bears break below the $3,400 support, the altcoin will drop to a floor above the 50-day SMA or the $3,050 level. However, if the bulls break above the 21-day SMA, Ether will resume its uptrend. The positive momentum will continue to the previous high.

If the bulls break through the psychological $4,000 level, Ether will start its second uptrend. Ether will see an initial rise to a high of $4,300. In the meantime, Ether is trading at $3,589 at the time of writing.
