Ethereum Breaks Through Current Support And Returns To The Low Of $1,079

Ethereum (ETH) is moving in a range as buyers and sellers continue to haggle over the price over the last 48 hours.

Ethereum price long term analysis: bearish

On Dec. 13, buyers managed to keep the price above the $1,300 level and the 50-day line SMA, but they were unable to sustain upward momentum. At the $1,350 high, the largest altcoin faced strong selling pressure. The negative momentum found support above the 21-day line SMA yesterday, sending the price down to $1,260. Today, the altcoin resumed its upward movement and is now trading in a range 

The price was not held below or above the moving average lines by either buyers or sellers. The price of Ether drops more than $1,200 after each rejection. As the bulls bought the dips today, Ether has shot above the current support. In the worst case scenario, Ether will crash and find support above the low at $1,100 if the bears break below the current level. If the 50-day line SMA and resistance at $1,300 are broken, Ethereum will rise to $1,600.
