Ethereum (ETH), is up by 0.2% in the last 24 hours. At the same time, trading volumes have increased more than 60%. Vendors have fought all efforts to drive the price above the $2,500 threshold during this session. The cryptocurrency has been consolidating following a robust rebound from the $2,100 level. As such, recent market dynamics point toward a possible reversal in investor sentiment.
Ethereum price is currently trading above the key 200-week exponential moving average (EMA) and this is considered a bullish signal by most traders. Yet, analysts are warning that a fall under $2,400 might trigger a significant crash. This drop could focus on $2,270, matching the 200-week EMA.
Ethereum's Technical Indicators
Now, with Ethereum price is above its 200-week EMA, it’s a signal that could mean the start of a bullish trend. This technical indicator is a strong bullish sign as long-term momentum is stacked in favor of buyers. The 200-week EMA is considered a major line of support or resistance and many traders look to it as a line to determine the overall trend.
Any failure to hold $2,400 as a level of support may open the door to more aggressive selling. A clean break below this support line could serve to speed up the downtrend. The next important support level so far seems to be near $2,270. This zone coincides with the 200-week EMA, making it a key level to watch for possible accumulation.
Traders and investors are no-doubt watching them just as closely. They’re looking to judge whether there is more room for upside progress or a likelihood of a deeper pullback. The relationship between these technical indicators and market sentiment is sure to determine Ethereum’s price action over the next few days.
