Ethereum

Ethereum was bullish all through Tuesday. By the end of the day, it was up by 6.5%.

Ethereum started Tuesday trading bullish and crossed through the 38.2% Fibonacci resistance at $4440.97 in the first hour of the day.

However, volumes were low, and just before daybreak, bears took control and pushed Ethereum through the 38.2% Fib, now support.

Bearish sentiment persisted until mid-morning when Ethereum hit the 50.0% Fibonacci support at $4342.17.

However, with the broader market turning bullish, Ethereum bears lost control at this price level.

What followed was a rally that saw Ethereum blast through multiple resistance levels, namely the 38.2% Fibonacci at $4440.97 and the 23.6% Fibonacci at $4565.47.

However, in the early evening, Ethereum bulls lost momentum just a few points shy of the all-time high of $4800.

This triggered a correction back to the 23.6% Fibonacci, now support at 4565.47. This support proved to be pretty strong, and Ethereum bounced off it all through the evening.

However, momentum was weak, and Ethereum failed to retest the day’s high of $4752.65. This triggered a minor correction in the last two hours of the day.

Ethereum started Wednesday trading bullish. This was in continuation of the bullish momentum that had built up on Tuesday.

Momentum was strong all through the morning, and at the time of going to press, Ethereum was edging closer to its all-time highs of $4800.

A glance at the day ahead

The key levels to watch in the day are the day’s high of $4765.05, which is now resistance, and the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4565.47.

If bulls take control and push Ethereum through the day’s high of $4765.05, the next key level to watch would be the all-time high of $4800. If this resistance is broken, Ethereum could make new highs above $5000 in the day.

On the other hand, if bears take control and push Ethereum through the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4565.47, the next key level to watch would be the 38.2% Fibonacci support at $4444.97.

If this support is broken, prices below $4400 could be seen in the day.

However, if volumes drop in the day, Ethereum could trade between the day’s high of $4765.05 and the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4565.47.
