Ethereum Plunges to $440 Low, Resumes Upside Momentum

For the past 48 hours, Ethereum has been in a downward move after failing to break the overhead resistance at $480. Yesterday, Ether fell to $440 low but the coin closed above $450 support at the time of writing.

This implies that the biggest altcoin is ready for fresh upside momentum. Since November 6, the crypto has been closing above the $450 price level despite the minor retracements from time to time. 

ETH will resume upside momentum once the price is above the SMAs or $450 high. However, after the breakdown on November 14, buyers are still struggling to break above the $460 high. Nonetheless, if the bulls face rejection at the $460 high, the bears are likely to break the $450 support. Incidentally, this will lead to another breakdown. Meanwhile, Ether is trading at $455 at the time of writing.

Key Support Zones: $160, $140, $120

What is the next direction for Ethereum?

Ethereum bulls are still holding above the $450 support for possible upside momentum. Nonetheless, a break above $480 will push Ether to reach the $488 and $550 highs. Buyers will have to break the $460 and $480 resistance to attain the new target price. The Fibonacci tool analysis has been tested at the 50% retracement level. This gives us the impression that the coin will rise and reach level 2.0 Fibonacci extensions or the high of $536.14.
