The price of Ethereum (ETH) is on the verge of entering the positive trend zone. On July 15, the altcoin rose to a high of $3,500 before being rejected.
Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bearish
Buyers failed to sustain the bullish momentum above the 50-day SMA resistance and the $3,500 high. Today, the bulls are desperately trying to break the barrier at the recent high. On the upside, Ether will hit a high of $3,730 if buyers keep the price above the $3,500 resistance. If the largest altcoin fails to break above the recent resistance, we could see a decline.
Now the uptrend has paused around the 50-day SMA. The bears have put up strong resistance recently. Ether will fall and settle between the moving average lines.
On the other hand, it will fall and return to the previous low above the 21-day SMA or the $3,250 support. The largest altcoin is valued at $3,435 at the time of writing.
Analysing the Ethereum indicators
The bulls are still trying to break the barrier at the 50-day SMA. The bulls have retested the recent resistance three times while the crypto price has fluctuated below its previous high. Ether price is now fluctuating between the moving average lines. The altcoin will continue its trend once the 21-day and 50-day SMAs are broken.
Technical Indicators:
Key Resistance Levels – $4,000 and $4,500
Key Support Levels – $3.500 and $3,000
