Ethereum
Ethereum had mixed fortunes last week, and by the end of the week, was trading pretty much where it had started.
Ethereum started the week bullish after it bounced off the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4017.92 in the previous week.
Bullish momentum continued on Tuesday, and by Wednesday, Ethereum hit weekly resistance at $4784.70.
Ethereum bulls lost momentum at the $4784.70 weekly resistance, with the broader market turning bearish.
A correction followed on Wednesday and Thursday, albeit with low volumes.
By Friday, bears were fully in control of the market, and Ethereum dropped hard to test the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4017.92.
The selloff accelerated on Saturday, and Ethereum briefly tested the 38.2% Fibonacci support at $3496.55 before a pullback that saw it close the day at the 23.6% Fib.
Bearish momentum remained strong on Sunday, but the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4017.92 proved too strong for bears.
Ethereum has started the new week bearish, but bears have not breached the 23.6% Fib support. When going to press, bears were still putting pressure on the 23.6% Fib.
A glance at the week ahead
The key levels to watch are the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4017.92 and the weekly resistance at $4784.70.
If bulls take control and push Ethereum through the weekly resistance at $4784.70, the next key level to watch would be the all-time highs at $4862.04.
If the all-time highs are broken, then prices above $5000 could be seen in the week.
On the other hand, if bears take control in the week and breach 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4017.92, it would mean that bearish sentiment is accelerating.
In such a scenario, prices below $3600 could be seen in the week.
However, if volumes drop, Ethereum could trade between the $4784.70 weekly resistance and the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4017.92.
