Ethereum Pauses Below The High Of $1,600

Ethereum price (ETH) is currently moving horizontally below the resistance level of $1,600.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bullish

The high at $1,620 marks the end of the current upswing. The price of the largest altcoin fluctuated between $1,500 and $1,600 last week. However, if the cryptocurrency value reaches the overbought zone, further rises are unlikely. Once the bears break the $1,500 support, Ether will start falling. For example, on January 18, the bulls bought the dips as sellers drove Ether to a low of $1,501. If the $1,500 support is broken, ETH /USD will fall to $1,352. However, the altcoin will remain in a range as long as these levels are held. Ether is rising in value and is currently trading at $1,552.40.

What is the next direction for Ethereum?

On the 4-hour chart, Ether has fallen back below the 21-day line SMA, but above the 50-day line SMA. The altcoin will be forced to trade in a range between the moving average lines. Doji candlesticks also contribute to the price action characteristics. This explains why buyers and sellers cannot agree on a price.
