Ethereum Takes A Break After Failing To Break Above The $3,600 Peak

The price of Ethereum (ETH) broke above the 50-day SMA support on July 19, although it has since retraced back above this level.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bullish

Buyers have failed to lift the price above the $3,600 mark. The largest altcoin peaked at $3,566 before being pushed back.

On a positive note, Ether would have reached a high of $3,730 if the buyers had been successful. The uptrend will continue until the psychological price level of $4,000 is reached.

Today, Ether is valued at $3,471. The bears are determined to push the price below the 50-day SMA support. The largest altcoin will fall if it loses the 50-day SMA support. The altcoin will fall to the 21-day SMA low of $3,278. Ethereum will have to trade sideways if neither the bulls nor the bears gain the upper hand. In other words, Ether will trade above the 50-day SMA support but below the $3,600 resistance level.
