Ethereum Fights Its Way Above $1,200, But Can Not Break Recent High

Ethereum price is in a bullish trend zone, but it is limited to a range.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bullish

The largest altcoin rose to a high of $1,273 but encountered resistance at $1,300. The altcoin has been hovering below this resistance level for the past 48 hours. However, if it fails at the resistance zone, the largest altcoin is likely to fall. On the other hand, the uptrend could continue if Ether retraces above the moving average lines or finds support above $1,200. The largest altcoin will rise and retest the $1,300 level. If Ether falls back below the moving average lines, it will drop back to the previous low of $1,100.
