Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH/USD Poised for More Upsides
Ethereum price is placed nicely in a bullish zone against the US Dollar, but it is struggling versus bitcoin. ETH/USD may soon break $304 to gain momentum.
There were mostly range moves above the $277 level in ETH price during the past few sessions against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair formed a decent support near $277 and later started an upside move. It traded above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $331 high to $250 low. There were a couple of bullish candles formed above $280, but bulls failed to gain momentum. More importantly, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $295 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair is now trading above the $290 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If the recent break is true and buyers gain traction, the price may well move past the $304 resistance. Above this, the next resistance is near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $331 high to $250 low. Finally, the price might aim to test the last swing high at $331-332.
About Ethereum (ETH): Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference.These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middleman or counterparty risk.The project was bootstrapped via an ether presale in August 2014 by fans all around the world. It is developed by the Ethereum Foundation, a Swiss non-profit, with contributions from great minds across the globe.
Ethereum (ETH) is the 2nd largest cryptocurrency by market cap size. It is up 3.10% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $300.86. It can be bought with fiat dollars, credit cards, or debit cards on cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase, CEX.io, and Changelly.
