Ethereum
Ethereum was in a correction all through Tuesday and closed the day lower by 2.5%.
It started Tuesday trading in the green. This was after the 61.8% Fibonacci support held in late Monday trading.
However, buying volumes were low, and by hour two of the day, bears took control. What followed was a crash that saw Ethereum easily breach two key support levels namely: The 50.0% Fibonacci at $4466.13, and the 38.2% Fibonacci at $4371.58.
Just before daybreak, Ethereum tested the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4254.79. However, this move was rejected, and there was a sharp pullback to the 38.2% Fib.
With the broader market heavily bearish, the selloff continued, and by mid-morning, the 23.6% Fib support at $4254.79 was breached.
However, after such a heavy selloff, buyers attempted to re-enter the market. What followed was a minor pullback until late afternoon, when bears retook control.
By the end of the day, Ethereum had breached the 23.6% Fibonacci support and with high volumes.
Ethereum started Wednesday trading with a pullback to the 23.6% Fib, now resistance. However, bulls did not have the momentum to push ETH through this resistance level.
What followed was a continuation of the selloff that has lasted for the last 48-hours. At the time of writing, Ethereum was testing the multi-month support at $4065.69.
A glance at the day ahead
In the day, the key levels to watch are the multi-month support at $4065.69 and the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance at $4254.79.
If bears sustain momentum and push Ethereum through the multi-month support at $4065.69, then prices below $4000 could be seen within the day.
On the other hand, if bulls take control and push Ethereum through the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance at $4254.79, the next key level to watch would be the 38.2% Fibonacci resistance at $4371.58.
If it’s broken, then prices above $4400 could be seen in the day.
However, if volumes drop, Ethereum could trade between the multi-month support at $4065.69, and the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance at $4254.79.
