Ethereum Rebounds Above $364 Low but May Face Another Rejection

On October 12, the biggest altcoin faced rejection at the $395 overheard resistance. After Ether was repelled the coin dropped to $368 low.

There are indications that sellers may push the coin below the moving averages or the critical support at $350. This may portend negatively for the coin if the bears are allowed to have an undue advantage at this price level. 

For example, if Ethereum retraces and finds support above $350, the upside momentum is likely to be revived. Buyers will attempt to push the price above $395 overhead resistance. This will catapult the coin to $488 high. On the other hand, if the bears break the $350 support, Ether will fall to the previous low at $310. A break below the $350 support will automatically affect the breaking of the moving averages. Perhaps, Ether will be range-bound in the bearish trend zone for a few days. The price action is indicating bearish signals.
