Ethereum Pauses in a Downtrend, Attempts to Revisit $440 Overhead Resistance

Ethereum is currently trading at $393 after sellers breached the crucial support level of $400. The crypto has earlier fallen to $380 and resumed an upward move.

The current support at $380 has been holding since August 1. On August 12, the biggest altcoin rebounded above it and reached the $440 overhead resistance. Today, at the same support, the price action is indicating bullish signals. This is an indication that the selling pressure has subsided and that buyers are taking control of prices.

Ether has another chance to resume the uptrend, if price rebounds above the current support, the momentum will push the price upward. Buyers will attempt to retest the $440 resistance. Ethereum will make a further upward move if the bulls clear a $440 resistance level. Otherwise, Ether will be compelled to move sideways below the resistance.
