ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, if the buyers continue to push above $390, the first level of resistance lies at $396 (bearish .5 Fib Retracement & October highs). Following this, resistance lies at $400, $410, and $416 (bearish .618 Fib Retracement).

On the other side, if the sellers push lower, the first level of support is expected at the $364 level (2019 highs). Beneath this, additional support is found at $355, $345 (100-days EMA), and $336.

The RSI rebounded from the mid-line to show the buyers are refusing to give up their control of the market momentum.

ETH/BTC – ETH Penetrates Beneath Consolidation Pattern.

Key Support Levels: 0.03 BTC, 0.0295 BTC, 0.029 BTC.
Key Resistance Levels: 0.0311 BTC, 0.0315 BTC, 0.032 BTC.

Against Bitcoin, Ethereum was trading within a 1.5-month-old consolidation pattern as it ranged between the two boundaries of a symmetrical triangle. Throughout the week, the buyers defended the lower boundary of this triangle, however, with the recent push of Bitcoin above $12,000 the sellers managed to take over and caused to drop beneath the pattern.

After falling beneath ETH continued to plummet until support was found around 0.0307 BTC – provided by a downside 1.618 Fib Extension level.

It’s worth noting that since September 2nd, ETH has lost just shy of 25% against Bitcoin and the last time its value was as low was on August 2nd.
