ETH/USD – Ether Hits $2600 After Breaking 100-day MA
Key Support Levels: $2545, $2400, $2320.
Key Resistance Levels: $2725, $2890, $3000.
Etheruem saw an incredible 18% surge this week as it climbs inside the confines of an ascending price channel. The cryptocurrency broke above a descending trend line toward the end of last week and pushed above the 100-day MA level yesterday to hit $2600 today.
ETH did surge as high as $2700 yesterday, allowing the coin to set a new high not seen since the first week of June.
The 4-hour chart shows the ascending price channel more clearly. It is a steep price channel, and a breakout toward the upside of this channel would turn ETH parabolic ahead of the London hard fork upgrade.
ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at $2725 (bearish .382 Fib). This is followed by $2890 (June highs), $3000, and $3035 (bearish .5 Fib).
On the other side, the first support lies at $2545 (100-day MA). This is followed by $2400, $2320 (.382 Fib), and $2200 (.5 Fib).
The 4-hour RSI is showing hints of bearish divergence, but the daily RSI indicates that the market is still not yet overbought.
