Ethereum started the week with a promising performance,
experiencing a gain of over 3%. However, the bullish momentum was
short-lived as the altcoin failed to sustain its position above a
key resistance level. Within the past 24 hours, ETH’s market value
has declined by nearly 3%. Throughout the week, the ETH price has
shown limited progress, with the bears dominating the price
movement. The altcoin’s technical outlook indicates a decline in
buying strength, accompanied by low demand and accumulation on the
daily chart. Related Reading: Ethereum Staking Hits Over $40

further strengthening of the bears, it is crucial for Ethereum to
surpass its immediate resistance in the upcoming trading sessions.
Failure to do so may lead to additional pressure from sellers,
potentially causing Ethereum to breach its immediate support level
and experience a significant loss in value during future trading
sessions. Additionally, the fall in the ETH market capitalization
suggests an increase in selling strength, as observed on the daily
chart. Ethereum Price Analysis: One-Day Chart At the time of
writing, the trading price of ETH was $1790. Despite attempting to
trade within the $1800 price range, the altcoin encountered selling
pressure, resulting in its depreciation. The current overhead
resistance for Ethereum is $1810. If the altcoin surpasses this
resistance level, it has the potential to trigger a rally in its
price. On the other hand, if the present price level experiences a
decline, Ethereum is likely to decline further to $1750 before
eventually reaching the $1700 price mark. The recent session saw a
decrease in the volume of Ethereum traded, indicated by the red
colour, indicating a weak buying strength. Technical Analysis
Throughout this month, Ethereum experienced a decline in demand,
resulting in reduced buying strength. The Relative Strength Index
(RSI) dropped below the midpoint line, suggesting a decrease in
demand and an increase in selling pressure on the chart.
Additionally, the price of Ethereum fell below the 20-Simple Moving
Average (SMA), indicating that sellers were dominating the market’s
price momentum. Given that Bitcoin’s price movement remains
uncertain, several altcoins, including Ethereum, have followed a
similar price trajectory. However, if Ethereum gains broader market
strength, there is a possibility that demand could return, causing
ETH to surpass the 20-SMA line and potentially climb higher. Due to
the absence of demand, ETH did not exhibit significant buy signals.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), a tool used to
indicate price momentum and potential trend reversals, showed small
green histograms that do not provide conclusive buy signals at this
point. The Bollinger Bands, which measure price volatility and
potential fluctuations, have maintained a parallel shape. However,
they displayed slight convergence, suggesting that ETH may trade
within a relatively stable range without substantial price
fluctuations. Related Reading: Bitfinex And Crypto Bank OrionX
