ETHE-USD: Ether Still in the Consolidation Pattern
- Key Support Zones – $2,333, $2,200, and $2,000
- Key Resistance Zones – $2,470, $2,600 and $2,700
At the start of the week, ETH tried to overcome the $2,600 resistance area. But, the coin failed near the 20-day moving average. On Tuesday, the altcoin rolled over, heading to the lower border of the symmetrical pattern.
Keep in mind that Ethereum has been in the triangle for about one month. A breakout from this pattern will dictate the next move for its market.
ETH: USD Near Term Price Forecast
What holds the future of this pair? The first support zone is at the lower boundary of the triangle, .5 Fib retracement, at $2,333. The next supports lies at .618 Fib ($2,200), February highs ($2,000), and $1,800.
Meanwhile, the first resistance area is at 100-d MA ($2,470). The next are $2,600, the upper boundary of the triangle ($2,700), and $2,800.
The Relative Strength Index remains below the mid-line, showing weak bearish sentiment. If it drops below the 40 zones, the amplified bearish attitude might drive Ethereum under the present triangle.
