Ethereum Consolidates Between $225 and $240 as Bulls Battle to Sustain Price Above $230 High

Soon after the breakdown on June 11 and the subsequent fall to $225 low, Ether has been consolidating between $225 and $240.

During the consolidation, sellers have pushed ETH down to $225 low as price corrected upward. For the past five days, buyers have found penetration difficult at the $235 resistance. As the market dropped to $230 low, the bulls and bears have continued the price tussle above $230 support.   

On the upside, if the price remains above $230, a strong bounce will propel the price to break through the resistances of 235 and $240. Perhaps the momentum will extend to retest the $250 resistance. However, if the current support at $230 fails to hold, the upside range trading is not feasible. On the downside, if the bears break the $230 support, there is a possibility of breaking the next support at $225. Ethereum may slump to $200 low if the current cracks.

Ether is presently below the 40% range of the daily stochastic. It indicates that the market is in a bearish momentum while price action is showing price fluctuations.

What is the next direction for Ethereum?   

Ethereum is still in an uptrend despite the recent retracement from the $250 resistance. However, if the bulls succeed in holding the current support, the upward move will resume. The crypto will further decline if price breaks below $225 support.
