On May 25, we compared the price fluctuations of Ethereum (ETH) to silver. Therein, we noted that the Ethereum price had declined in value — while silver had seen slight gains. We traced an ascending channel for silver between June 3 and 8. Silver ($/OZ) is currently trading in the middle of the channel after being rejected by the resistance line on June 7.
Both the resistance and support lines have been touched three times. After touching the resistance line for the third time, the silver price subsequently fell. At the time of writing, the price was trading near $15.

Similarly, an ascending channel can also be traced for Ethereum. However, unlike silver, it is occurring over a shorter period. The resistance and support lines of the channel emerged on June 5, with lows and highs of $233.30 and $247.50, respectively. At the time of writing, the price of Ethereum appeared to be moving toward the support line of the channel after being rejected by the resistance line on June 7.
Thus, there is one similarity between the Ethereum price and silver price: both of them are trading in the middle of the channel after being rejected by the resistance line.
