Ethereum Holds Recent Gains as Bulls and Bears Struggle above $160

On January 19, the bull’s inability to break above the $180 resistance level compelled Ethereum to a range-bound movement. Ether is on a tight range between $160 and $170. Incidentally, the continual ranging will lead to a price breakout or breakdown. Now if the price breaks the $170 resistance level and the bulls are successful, the coin will reach a high of $200.

Conversely, the range-bound movement will persist if sellers defend the $170 resistance level. It is unlikely that a breakdown will occur at the $160 support as the buyers are still in control. A breakdown can result in the coin falling to the low of either $144 or $140 price level.
