Ethereum Holds Above $1,200 As Buyer And Seller Fail To Reach Agreement

The Ethereum price (ETH) is in a downtrend, but has resumed a sideways movement after falling to the low of $1,220.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bearish

Last week, the largest altcoin did not show any trend as it settled between $1,220 and $1,400. The price action was characterized by small, indecisive candlesticks called Doji. These candlesticks indicate that buyers and sellers have reached a phase of indecision. 

In the meantime, if buyers break through the resistance at $1,400, Ether will rise to the next resistance at $1,800. Selling pressure will increase again if the price falls below the support at $1,220. The market will then continue to fall to $1,162.
