Ethereum Holds above Crucial Support at $1,100, Poises for More Upside Momentum

Ethereum price has fallen to $1,218 at the time of writing. It is trading below the $1,230 resistance. In its recent rallies, the biggest altcoin reached a high of $1,280 but was repelled.

The coin fell to $1,070 low and made a pullback on January 8. After the rejection and pullback, the coin is in a sideways move between $1,100 and $1,300. 

For the past three days, Ethereum has been correcting in the current price range. Buyers and sellers are undecided about the next direction of the coin. However, if buyers pushed the coin above the $1,280 high, Ether will be propelled to rally above the $1,400 high. Conversely, if sellers break the $1,100 support, the biggest altcoin will drop to $880 low. However, subsequent falls are likely, if the previous support fails to hold.
