Ethereum

Ethereum had a mixed day on Monday, but closed higher by 5%. It started Monday trading bullish after pushing through the 50.0% Fibonacci resistance in late Sunday trading.

However, by the 3rd hour of the day, momentum slowed down, and bears attempted to retake the market. 

This saw Ethereum drop back to the 50.0% Fibonacci, then support, just before daybreak. Ethereum traded in a range above the 50.0% Fibonacci for a few hours before bears broke this support in mid-morning.

This triggered a selloff that saw Ethereum test and briefly push through the 38.2% Fibonacci support by midday. 

However, with the broader market turning bullish, Ethereum had a sharp bullish reversal off the 38.2% Fibonacci and with high volumes. 

Ethereum’s bullish momentum increased in the afternoon, and in the early evening, it had pushed through the 50.0% Fib at $4124.62. 

By the end of the day, Ethereum had also pushed through the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $4272.25.

Ethereum started Tuesday trading with the same upside momentum that characterized most of Monday. 

However, volumes had dropped by daybreak, and Ethereum was consolidating slightly above the 61.8% Fibonacci, now support.

A glance at the day ahead

The key levels to watch are the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $4272.25 and $4617.70, a key resistance all through December. 

If Ethereum rallies and pushes through the Dec resistance of $4617.70, the next key level to watch would be $4747.62, which is the month’s high. 

If bulls manage to push Ethereum through the $4747.62 resistance, Ethereum could retest its all-time highs of $4800. 

However, if bears take control in the day and breach the 61.8% Fibonacci support, the next key level to watch would be the 50.0% Fibonacci support at $4124.62. 

If bears push Ethereum through this support, prices below $4000 could be seen in the day. 

On the other hand, if volumes drop, Ethereum could trade between the $4617.70 monthly resistance and the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $4272.25.
