Ethereum price long-term analysis: bullish

The largest altcoin plunges towards the 21-day SMA support. Buyers were unable to sustain the positive momentum above the $4,800 high.

At the time of writing, Ether has fallen to a low of $4,177. On the downside, the negative momentum is likely to reach the low of $4,000 or the 21-day SMA support. If the largest altcoin retraces and stays above the 21-day SMA support, it will resume its uptrend. Ether will rise and exceed the USD 4,800 mark.

However, if the bears break below the 21-day SMA support, the downtrend will continue and Ether will fall to $3,400. In the meantime, the largest altcoin is trading above the 21-day SMA support but below the high of $4,800.
