Ethereum Threatens To Fall Below $1,600 As It Fails To Hold Its Recent High

Ethereum price (ETH) has been moving sideways and has now crossed the $1,700 resistance level.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bullish

Bullish momentum has reached a high of $1,715 at the time of writing. Buyers have not been able to keep the price above the recent high. The last time ETH was rejected was at its high of $1,734. The price of the cryptocurrency rose above the 21-day line SMA and continues to move sideways. On the plus side, if Ether recovers and the bullish momentum stays above the $1,700 support, a recovery to $1,800 and $2,000 is expected. However, the current bullish momentum has slowed down in the decline. The current fluctuation above the current support could continue as long as the Ether price remains above the moving average lines. The largest altcoin could fall below the 21-day line SMA.
