Ethereum Holds Above $1,400 As Negative Momentum Wanes

The Ethereum price (ETH) is falling and approaching a low of $1,462.20.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bearish

As Ether holds its position above the 50-day line SMA, the negative momentum has subsided. By the way, the biggest altcoin is locked inside the moving average lines. If Ethereum stays above the current support, it will be forced to move in a range for a few days. However, if the current levels are broken, the altcoin will develop a trend. On the downside, the market will fall to a low of $1,352 if the bears break below the 50-day line SMA. The selling pressure will eventually fall to $1,200. If the Ether price rises above the 21-day line SMA, the positive momentum will resume. The altcoin will return to its high at $1,700.
