The Ethereum (ETH) price has reached a massive long-term resistance area near $400. While it briefly managed to climb above this level, it has failed to close above it.
The shorter-term trend has begun to show weakness, and a retracement seems imminent before the price can resume its upward movement.
Long-Term Ethereum Trend
The weekly chart for Ethereum shows that while the price has likely begun an upward move, it is trading right inside a long-term resistance area between $375 and $400. The area acted as support in April 2018, before turning back into resistance in June 2019. While the price is again trading in this range, it has failed to reach a weekly close above the upper limit and created a long upper-wick last week. The next resistance area is the 0.5 Fib level of the entire upward move around $455. Technical indicators are bullish. Both the MACD and RSI are growing, even though the latter is inside the overbought territory. The price is trading above the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages (MA), which have made two bullish crosses between them.

Wave Count
Cryptocurrency trader @glowto1994 outlined a chart for Ethereum, suggesting that the price will soon make another upward move. However, the movement is still part of a correction, which suggests that Ethereum could decrease afterward.

Ethereum/Bitcoin
The ETH/BTC pair has increased by 32% since July 22. Currently, the price has reached a resistance area that has been in place since May 2019 at ₿0.035. Technical indicators are giving conflicting signals. While there is a bearish divergence in both the RSI and MACD, the volume has made a higher-high alongside the price. Therefore, while the move is overextended, there is no clear sign of weakness yet. In addition, there is no bearish candlestick on the daily time-frame over the past five days. If the price continues to increase, the next resistance area would be found at ₿0.04.
