Ethereum Stops Again Near The $4,000 High

The price of Ethereum (ETH) has risen to the psychological price threshold of $4,000 for the second time.

Ethereum price long-term analysis: bullish

The largest altcoin peaked at $4,094 before retreating. For the second time, buyers have failed to sustain their bullish momentum above the current high. The retracement has ended and the altcoin is testing the resistance level again. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has crossed the psychological price threshold of $100,000, as Coinidol.com reported. If buyers are successful, Ether will break out above the $4,094 mark and rise to a high of $4,500. In the meantime, Ether price is fluctuating below the recent high. The 21-day SMA is trading near the price bars. 

However, if Ether falls below the 21-day SMA, selling pressure will increase again. The bearish momentum will continue above the 50-day SMA or the low at $3,300.

Technical Indicators:

Resistance Levels – $4,000 and $4,500

Support Levels – $3.500 and $3,000
