Ethereum Fluctuates Between $2,600 and $3,200, a Downtrend Is Likely

Ethereum (ETH) is trading above $3,100 support as bulls struggle to maintain upward momentum. After the last downward impulse, the Ether price is unstable and fluctuates between $2,600 and $3,200.

Today, the largest altcoin is likely to fall as it is rejected at the resistance zone at $3,200. This is the second time it has been rejected at the recent high. However, the bears also retested the support zone at $2,600 three times but were rejected. This has contributed to the price currently hovering between $2,600 and $3,200. If the price breaks above $3,200, a rally above $3,400 is likely. This will push the altcoin to resume its upward momentum. On the other hand, if the cryptocurrency encounters strong resistance, the downtrend will resume.

Ether's price has risen to the level 47 of the Relative Strength index period 14. The altcoin is still in the downtrend zone and below the midline 50, which makes it vulnerable to a downtrend. Ether is showing a bearish crossover as the 21-day line SMA crosses the 50-day line SMA. This is a sign of a sell signal. The altcoin is above the 40% area of the daily stochastic.
