Ethereum Bulls and Bears in Price Tussle as It Consolidates Above $1,000

Ethereum (ETH) has settled above the psychological $1,000 mark. After the June 13 plunge, the Ether price has been fluctuating between $1,000 and $1,250, with buyers making desperate efforts to defend the current support from raging bears.

In the last five days, the bears have retested the current support four times to bring down the biggest altcoin. On the other hand, the bulls have retested the resistance at $1,250 several times and resumed the uptrend. If the resistance at $1,250 is overcome by the buyers, Ether will rise to the high of $1,520. Conversely, if the bears fall below the support at $1,000, the bulls will buy the dips to recover the decline. Meanwhile, ETH/USD is falling, reaching the low of $1,092 at the time of writing.
