Ethereum Holds Firm at $380 Resistance as Bulls Attempt to Breach the Recent High

For the past three days, Ethereum has been on a sideways trend below the $380 resistance. The range-bound movement was as a result of the bulls’ failure to break the $380 resistance.

In the meantime, Ether is fluctuating between $369 and $377. Ether price has broken above the SMAs. There is a possibility of a further upward movement of the coin if the bullish momentum is sustained.

In the present price range, ETH can encounter a breakout or breakdown. A rally to $420 is possible if a breakout occurs at the resistance. A breakdown at the $369 support will push the altcoin to $350 low. The bears will erase the bullish gains earlier made. Meanwhile, the coin is trading at $374.30 and it is range bound between $369 and $377.
