The Ether price bars are between the moving average lines

The price of Ethereum (ETH) has closed below the 50-day SMA twice, with the bulls buying the dips. The bulls are doing their best to keep the price above the 50-day moving average line.

Long-term analysis of ETH price: bearish

Now, Ether has been pushed back from the 50-day SMA. If the selling pressure intensifies, the downtrend could resume to the $3,000 support level. Buyers will protect the $3,000 support if Ether falls. The largest altcoin will be forced to trade between $3,000 and $4,094. Ether will return to the bullish trend zone if buyers keep the price above the 21-day SMA. The altcoin will rise to its previous high of $4,094. In the meantime, buyers are about to break above the 50-day simple moving average.
