Ethereum Begins Its Ascent, But Comes To A Halt At $1,748

The latest price analysis by Coinidol.com report, Ethereum (ETH), which experienced a price decline on August 17, has risen above the support level of $1,600.

Long-term analysis of Ethereum price: bearish

Bears repeatedly tried to push Ether to a low of $1,400. Nonetheless, the price rose back above the $1,700 mark, but the upward momentum could not be sustained. The price of the cryptocurrency has recovered to the 21-day line SMA. The price of Ether is above the support level of $1,700, but below the moving average lines.

If Ether falls back below the $1,700 support, it will drop and return to the range bound zone. Positive momentum will reappear and the Ether price will break out above the moving average lines if it can hold above the $1,700 support. A break above the moving average lines indicates that the uptrend has resumed. Ether will regain its previous high of $1,900 or $2,000 in the near future. At the time of writing, Ether is trading at $1,719.80.

It means that supply and demand have reached an equilibrium point. The altcoin is in a downtrend as the price bars are below the moving average lines.

What is the next direction for Ethereum?

The largest altcoin has received an upward impulse as the current slump is coming to an end. Ether has not yet fully recovered as it has not yet broken the 21-day simple moving average. Bullish momentum is sitting tight at the moving average lines. It is important to break the moving average lines to resume the uptrend.

As we reported on August 27, after the rally on August 17, buyers have been desperately trying to break through the $1,700 resistance. If the current resistance is broken, Ether will resume its uptrend.
