Ethereum Rises Steadily, But Remains Stuck At $1,620

The Ethereum price (ETH) remains in a steady uptrend after reaching a high of $1,620 on January 4.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bullish

The largest altcoin is back to its previous price level, which was $1,678 on Nov. 5. Since January 4, the uptrend has stagnated near the high of $1,620. The cryptocurrency is currently bouncing below the $1,600 resistance level. As the market is extremely overbought, the current bounce is being hindered. The $1,678 resistance level will be breached if buyers keep the price above $1,600 and the uptrend continues. Ether will then rise to the next resistance level of $1,789. If Ether is rejected at the high of $1,600, selling pressure will resume. The cryptocurrency will fall to the breakout level of $1,352. If Ether stays above $1,300, it will be forced to move between $1,300 and $1,600. At the time of writing, Ether is trading at $1,544.
