Ethereum Continues Its Slide And Faces Rejection At $2,800

The price of Ethereum (ETH) is in an upward correction after breaking above the 21-day SMA.

Long-term analysis of ETH price: bearish

The bullish momentum should have risen to the 50-day SMA or the high at $3,000 on the daily chart. However, the bullish momentum has peaked above $2,800. The previous price and support level from April 13 was $2,800. 

On August 4, the bears broke through the $2,800 support and continued their decline to a low of $2,116. 

Today, the largest altcoin has recovered but remains between the moving average lines. If the bulls overcome resistance at $2,800 and the 50-day SMA, Ether could reach a high of $3,400. If the bears break the 21-day SMA support, Ether will fall to its low at $2,200. Ether is currently trading at $2,685.
