Ethereum Eyes a New High of $500, Battles Resistance at $440

There is a price tussle between bulls and bears above the current support. There is the likelihood of a further price fall, once the $420 support cracks. Ether will drop to $380 low. 

Alternatively, if the current support holds, the uptrend will resume retesting the $440 resistance. The biggest altcoin will have another chance to rise to $500 if buyers break the $440 resistance. Today, ETH is hovering above the $420 support as buyers and sellers are undecided about the direction of the market.

What is the next direction for Ethereum?

The biggest altcoin is retracing to the next support. However, in the August 2 uptrend, a bearish candlestick (red candle body) tested the 0.50 Fibonacci retracement level.
