ETH/USD – Etheruem Starts To Form Short Term Descending Triangle

Key Support Levels: $364, $355, $336.
Key Resistance Levels: $390, $400, $410.

Ethereum dropped from the $390 resistance at the start of the week, but the bulls have defended the 2019 High price at $364. The market is now forming a short term descending triangle pattern, which can be seen on the following 4HR chart:

ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, if the sellers break beneath $364, the first level of support lies at the lower boundary of the short term descending triangle at $355. Beneath this, additional support lies at $336, $330 (100-days EMA), and $324 (.618 Fib Retracement). This is followed by support at $300.

On the other side, the first level of resistance lies at the upper boundary of the triangle. This is followed by resistance at $390, $400, $410, and $420 (bearish .618 Fib Retracement).

The RSI is hovering around the mid-line, which shows the market is in a state of indecision right now.

On the other side, the first level of resistance lies at 0.034 BTC. Added resistance lies at 0.0347 BTC, 0.0361 BTC (March 2019 Highs), and 0.0371 BTC (bearish .618 Fib Retracement).
