Ethereum Is in an Upward Correction, Faces Rejection $3,800

The price of Ethereum (ETH) is in a downward correction as the price falls below the moving averages. Ether has been in an upward correction since the price collapsed on December 29.

The market has reached the overbought zone. The current upward move may fail at the recent high. In other words, Ether will be rejected at the blue line, the 21-day moving average. This will cause Ether to fall to the low of $3,436. However, if the current uptrend holds and the price breaks above the moving averages or $4,200, Ether will be out of the downward correction and the market will also move higher. In the meantime, the largest altcoin is facing resistance at the recent high.
