Ethereum Persists At $1,240 As Sellers Emerge At Recent Peak

The Ethereum price (ETH) regained momentum and reached a high of $1,225 today.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bearish

Sellers tried to bring down the cryptocurrency when it found support above $1,157 on December 16. However, on December 20, the Ether price recovered after retesting the 21-day simple moving average. The current uptrend could face resistance at the moving average lines. If the price breaks above the moving average lines and the resistance at $1.300, Ether will regain its upside momentum. If buyers succeed, the largest altcoin will rise to previous highs of $1,400 and $1,600. If the altcoin is rejected at the moving average lines, it will fall to the current support.
