Ethereum Consider Next Move, Stuck Below $215 Resistance

Surprisingly, Ether fails to move to retest $227 overhead resistance, despite its ability to break the $200 and $205 minor resistances. The minor resistance was an initial hurdle to jump over for over a week.

The said resistance was broken after the price has rebounded twice but was stuck in the middle structure. The biggest altcoin has found itself battling the resistance at $215.

This resistance has been holding since May 7, after the overhead resistance was faced with a downward move. This present resistance has sunk ETH to the $180 low when the bulls made an attempt to break it on May 10. Currently, the market is now range-bound below $215 resistance. In a nutshell, Ethereum will have to clear the resistance at $215 and $216, before an uptrend can be achieved. The market will fall sharply to $200 if the bulls fail to break above the resistance at $215.

What is the next direction for Ethereum? 

For the past week, Ethereum has failed to accelerate upward after being stuck below the $215 resistance. The upward move that was witnessed last week was a marginal price movement. Nonetheless, there is an impending downward move, if sellers emerge at the overbought region
