Ethereum Fluctuates between $550 and $620 as Bulls Attempt to Breach the Recent High

Since November 23, Ethereum bulls have been struggling to break the $620 overhead resistance. Presently, the upward move has been restricted to the range-bound zone of $560 and $620.

For example, on December 8, the upward move was resisted at the $620 overhead resistance. The biggest altcoin plunged to $530 low and immediately it corrected upward. This has been the market scenario since November 23. 

Today, the current upward move is facing resistance at the $580 high as the coin fluctuates below it. Nonetheless, the bulls have achieved one positive thing; that is sustaining the price level above $560 high. Ether will resume the upside range momentum when the price fluctuates between $560 and $620. Today, the altcoin have been trading above $560. A retest at $620 is likely if the bulls sustain the current price level.
