Ethereum Price Holds 100 SMA, Awaits Clear Signal

ethereum holds 100 SMA
Ethereum's value exhibited a consistent upward trend, surpassing the $2,180 resistance and gaining bullish momentum upon closing above $2,200. The price surged beyond $2,300, settling above the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average, reaching a pinnacle at $2,332, and currently undergoing consolidation. Despite a minor bearish wave below $2,300, Ethereum remains resilient above $2,240 and the 100-hourly SMA.

ETH/USD Hourly Chart: Key Levels and Potential Upside

The hourly chart of ETH/USD reveals a significant rising channel, finding support around $2,275, closely aligned with the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward movement from the $1,980 swing low to the $2,332 high.

On the upside, resistance is encountered at $2,320, followed by key barriers at $2,350 and the primary obstacle at $2,400. A decisive breach above $2,400 could propel Ethereum towards $2,500, with additional resistances at $2,520 and the potential for further gains towards $2,580.

Critical Support Levels and Indicators for ETH/USD Outlook

Failure to overcome the $2,320 resistance might initiate a fresh decline. Initial support lies around $2,275, or the 100-hourly SMA and the channel trend line. Subsequent significant support levels include $2,165, with the main support near $2,120, corresponding to the 61.8% Fib retracement level. A downside break below $2,120 could trigger another substantial decline, potentially revisiting the $2,000 support level. Technical indicators indicate a waning bullish momentum in the MACD, while the RSI remains above the 50 level, suggesting a generally positive outlook.
