Ethereum Pauses above $1.148 as It Risks Further Decline

Since the rejection on July 8, the price of Ethereum (ETH) has been on a downward trend. The largest altcoin has fallen above the low of $1.137 and the 21-day line SMA.

Buyers will try to push the cryptocurrency to the 50-day line SMA if the current support holds. Ether will rise to the previous highs of $1,800 or $2,013. However, if the bears break below the 21-day line SMA, the cryptocurrency will fall to the previous low of $881 or $997. Currently, the movement of the Ether price is slow due to the presence of a small indecisive candle called Doji.
