Ethereum

Ethereum had a sluggish performance all through Thursday. By the end of the day, it was down by about a percentage.

Ethereum started

Thursday trading bullish after bouncing off the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $45559.54 late Wednesday trading.

However, this momentum was short-lived, and just three hours into the day, bears took control.

Bearish momentum was quite strong, and by daybreak, Ethereum had crashed through 61.8% Fibonacci support and briefly pushed through the 50.0% Fibonacci support.

However, the push through the 50.0% Fibonacci support was rejected as buyers bought the dip in large volumes.

By mid-morning, what followed was a rally back to the 61.8% Fibonacci, now resistance.

However, Ethereum bulls lost momentum slightly above the 61.8% Fib without much support from the broader market.

Bearish momentum was not that strong either, and Ethereum oscillated around the 61.8% Fibonacci until late afternoon.

At this point, an increase in bearish momentum increased and pushed Ethereum back to the 50.0% Fibonacci support at $4466.13 by early evening.

Bears managed to push Ethereum through the 50.0% Fibonacci, a move that was sharply rejected for the second time in the day.

What followed was an increase in bullish momentum for the remainder of the evening.

Ethereum started Friday trading with the bullish momentum that had started in late Thursday trading.

However, bulls quickly lost momentum after Ethereum hit the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance by hour two of the day.

This saw bears push Ethereum back to the 50.0% Fibonacci support at $4466.13 just before daybreak. Ethereum bounced off this support and, at the time of going to press, was trading at the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $4559.54.

A glance at the day ahead

The key levels to watch are the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $4559.54 and the 50.0% Fibonacci support at $4466.13.

If bulls take control and push Ethereum through the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $4559.64, the next key level to watch would be the December 1st high of $4777.59.

If this resistance is broken, Ethereum could retest its all-time highs of $4800 within the day.

On the other hand, if bears take control and push Ethereum through the 50.0% Fibonacci support at $4466.13, the next key level to watch would be the 38.2% Fibonacci support at $4466.13.

If by any chance the 38.2% Fib support is broken, prices below $4200 could be seen in the day.
