Ethereum Recovers But Faces Rejection At $1,220 High

Ethereum price (ETH) has resumed its uptrend above the $1,100 support.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bearish

Above the $1,100 support, the price movement was unchanged last week. On December 27, buyers unsuccessfully tried to hold the price above the moving average lines. Currently, buyers are struggling to penetrate the moving average lines. Moreover, the largest altcoin has entered the overbought zone at a high of $1,220. On the upside, the bullish momentum will continue to the high of $1,300 if the bulls break above the moving average lines. On the downside, the current range will remain between $1,100 and $1,240 if buyers are unable to break the previous high.

What is the next direction for Ethereum?

Although Ethereum is moving sideways, it has recently picked up bullish momentum as it approaches the previous high. As it faces rejection at the high of $1,220, the current bullish momentum has reached its bullish exhaustion. The overbought area of the market for Ether has been reached. If the altcoin is rejected at the recent high, it can resume its sideways movement.
