Ethereum Has Stalled After Failing At $1,800 Hurdle

The Ethereum price (ETH) is recording higher highs and higher lows, but is unable to overcome the high resistance level of $1,800.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bearish

The price of Ether remains volatile, hovering between $1,700 and $1,800, well below its recent high. This morning, Ether reached resistance at $1,800 and has since fallen to a low of $1,757. The price indicator suggests that the price of the cryptocurrency will continue to rise. On the uptrend on March 14, a retraced candlestick tested the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. The retracement predicts that ETH will rise to the Fibonacci extension level 1.618 or $2,023.89. According to the price action, Ether will resume its uptrend if the current resistance is broken. A rise above $1,900 is likely if the current resistance is broken.

Ether's Relative Strength Index is 63 for the 14 period, and the largest altcoin still has room for appreciation. Ether will rise as long as the price bars are higher than the moving average lines. The bearish momentum is still below the daily stochastic value of 40 despite the slowdown.

Key resistance levels - $2,000 and $2,500

What is the next direction for Ethereum?
