ETH Price: Long-Term Analysis

The price of ETH on Bitfinex is analyzed at weekly intervals from Dec 2017 to June 2019 alongside the 10-, 20- and 100-period Moving Averages.
After reaching highs of $1424.3 on Jan 2018, the Ethereum price began a long downtrend. So far, the lowest price has been $83.0, reached on Dec 2018. Fib Retracement Using a fib retracement tool stretching from high to low, we can see that the price still has yet to reach the 0.236 fib level of the entire downward move. This level coincides with the 100-period MA, which is providing resistance to the price. This is in stark contrast to BTC, which is close to reaching the 0.5 level. On a more bullish note, the relatively short-term 10- and 20- period MAs have made a bearish cross and are offering support to the price. The weekly time-frame shows that the price of ETH has yet to confirm that it is in an uptrend. A weekly close above $380 would go a long way in doing that.

Ascending Wedge

With a closer look, we can see that the price of ETH has been trading inside an ascending wedge since February 2019. The ascending wedge is a bearish pattern. ETH Ascending Wedge At the time of writing, it was trading close to the resistance line of the wedge. Looking at it closely, we can see that for a period of 35 days it created a strong channel of resistance near $280. This was especially evident during the candle of May 30, that reached the top of the resistance area before immediately reversing. Resistance However, on June 21, the price broke through this resistance level. The same area should now act as support. After the breakout, the Ethereum price has shown indecision. After reaching the resistance line at $322, it created a hanging man — which shows that there is selling pressure in the market. Candlestick A swift reversal ensued and the price reached a low of $292. However, it immediately created a bullish hammer and drove the price up. A breakout/breakdown above these values would invalidate the current pattern of consolidation and could likely initiate rapid moves.

Short-Term

Finally, a short-term look shows that the price is trading inside a horizontal channel with even closer limits. The resistance line is currently at $317.5 while the support line is at $300. Horizontal Channel A breakdown below the support line would likely cause the price to decrease to the support area at $270-290. A continued decrease would likely cause a breakdown from the ascending wedge. On the other hand, a breakout could immediately lead to rapid price increases. Due to the previous market movement and the fact that the resistance and support lines are converging, we would expect continued trading inside the wedge until a decisive move occurs. If the price continues to increase at the rate predicted by the wedge without any rapid moves, it would reach the 0.238 fib level at $380 during the latter part of July.
