The Ethereum price is approaching a crucial resistance area. A breakout above could trigger very rapid price acceleration. While both a breakout and a rejection remain possible, technical indicators are bullish, so a breakout is more likely.
Cryptocurrency trader @Cryptowat_ch notes that Ethereum is approaching a significant resistance level, which in the chart is outlined as a descending resistance line.
Ahead of the launch of @ethereum‘s new staking platform (ETH 2.0), #ETHBTC is back approaching a line of major weekly resistance. Today: 40 ETH = 1 BTC. What will it be by the end of 2020?
Long-Term Resistance
At the beginning of the year, ETH broke out from a descending resistance line that had been in place since January 2019. The price increased and reached a high of ฿0.0272, a critical resistance level, before falling back to support at ฿0.0217. The breakout caused the weekly RSI to move above 50, something it had not done since June 2018. This is a long-term bullish sign that suggests ETH will continue moving upwards. If the price breaks out from the current resistance area, it could rally all the way up to ฿0.037.
Possible Breakout
The daily chart reveals that the price is following a very steep ascending support line. In addition, it is approaching a minor resistance area at ฿0.0259. Technical indicators are bullish thanks to a bullish cross that has formed between the 50 and 200-period moving averages (MA). The price is trading above both, a sign that the bull trend has already begun. As long as the ascending support line stays intact, ETH should reach this minor resistance area.
Ethereum/Dollar
The ETH/USD pair is similarly following an ascending support line. In addition, the 50 and 200-period MA’s have made a bullish cross, and the price is trading above them. However, ETH is trading inside an important resistance area at $247, above which it unsuccessfully attempted to break out on June 1. If the price breaks out, it is likely to rally all the way to the next resistance area at $277. However, a rejection would cause a drop to $217. There is a confluence of support levels at $217, so a bounce is extremely likely if the price returns to these levels, followed by another breakout attempt.
