Ethereum Price Analysis: Will ETH Surpass 2019 Highs Towards $400?

Yaz Sheikh Sep 30, 2020 14:48
Ethereum is struggling to make any ground above the 2019 Highs at $364 this week but remains supported at $352 - for now. Against Bitcoin, it is facing major resistance at a falling trend line that has dictated trading in September.

ETH/USD – Bulls Struggling To Pass 2019 Highs

Key Support Levels: $350, $336, $325.
Key Resistance Levels: $364, $378, $390.

Ethereum pushed higher last week to reach the 2019 highs at around $364 over the weekend. Unfortunately, it has not been able to overcome this resistance in the past four days of trading as bearish divergence popped up on the short term charts – highlighted in our last analysis.

For now, Ethereum is finding strong support between $350 and $355; however, it is looking increasingly likely to break this support soon as the short-term bearish divergence continues to play out.

ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction

If ETH does penetrate back beneath $350, the first level of strong support lies at $336 (100-days EMA). Beneath this, additional support lies at $324 (.618 Fib), $320, $310, and $300.

On the other side, the first level of resistance lies at $364 (2019 highs). Above this, resistance is expected at $378 (bearish .382 Fib), $390, and $400.

The Daily RSI did dip beneath the mid-line to suggest that the sellers are battling to gain control of the market momentum.

ETH/BTC – Bears Continue To Face Resistance at Falling Trend Line

Key Support Levels: 0.033BTC, 0.032 BTC, 0.0315 BTC.
Key Resistance Levels: 0.0337 BTC, 0.0347 BTC, 0.0352 BTC.

Against Bitcoin, Ethereum continues to face the resistance at a falling trend line that has dictated price action during September. Each time ETH attempted to break above this falling trend line, the coin was rejected and headed lower.

On Monday, ETH attempted to push beyond the March 2019 support at 0.0337 BTC but could not pass it. As a result, ETH moved sideways this week and has returned to the falling trend line. Here, it can be expected that ETH should be heading lower – especially with the daily RSI flattening out in the bearish territory.

On the other side, if the bulls can penetrate the falling trend line, the first level of resistance lies at 0.0337 BTC (March 2019 Support). Above this, resistance lies at 0.0347 BTC, 0.0352 BTC, and 0.0361 BTC (March 2019 High).
