Ethereum Price Long-Term Analysis: Bullish

Since April 1, the largest cryptocurrency has been limited to a level below the high of $3,500. There is a tendency for the cryptocurrency to continue its upward movement if buyers break the resistance at $3,400. On the upside, Ether will rise to the high of $3,800 if the current resistance is broken. However, further upside is doubtful as the market has reached the overbought zone.

The cryptocurrency will continue to move up. On the downside, Ether will fall to a low of $3,400 and $3,200 if it is rejected at the recent high.
