Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Falls Below $1,800 as Bulls Face Important Support, Will it Hold?

ETH/USD – Market Falls Into Lower Boundary of Ascending Price Channel

Key Support Levels: $1755, $1700, $1667.
Key Resistance Levels: $1876, $1900, $1960.

Ethereum started the week on a bullish note after rebounding above $1500 over the weekend. The cryptocurrency went on to form a short-term ascending price channel as it continued to push upward to reach the resistance at $1875 (1.414 Fib Extension).

It could not close a daily candle above the resistance and ended up rolling over on Wednesday. It has since found support at $1755 (previous resistance) and is now trading at the lower boundary of the ascending price channel.

ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first level of support lies directly at $1755 (lower boundary of the price channel). This is followed by support at $1700, $1667 (previous resistance), $1580, and $1500.

On the other side, the first level of strong resistance lies at $1876 (1.414 Fib Extension – yellow). This is followed by $1900, $1960 (1.272 Fib Extension – blue), $2000, and $2036 (ATH).

The RSI is heading lower, indicating fading bullish momentum. It is still well above the midline, so the bears are not taking over the momentum anytime soon.

ETH/BTC – Bears Push Beneath December 2020 Highs

Key Support Levels: 0.031 BTC, 0.0305 BTC, 0.03 BTC.
Key Resistance Levels: 0.0318 BTC, 0.032 BTC, 0.0337 BTC.

Against Bitcoin, ETH had also started the week positively as it pushed above the 100-day EMA at 0.0337 BTC to reach the resistance at 0.035 BTC. Unfortunately, it was unable to break above and ended up rolling over from there on Tuesday.

The coin fell lower as it broke beneath the 100-days and 200-day EMAs on Wednesday. Yesterday, it continued beneath the December 2020 highs at 0.0318 BTC to reach 0.0313 BTC today.

ETH-BTC Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first level of support lies at 0.031 BTC (.786 Fib). This is followed by 0.0305 BTC (.886 Fib), 0.03 BTC, and 0.0295 BTC (downside 1.272 Fib Extension).

On the other side, the first resistance lies at 0.0318 BTC (December 2020 Highs). This is followed by 0.032 BTC (200-days EMA), 0.0337 BTC (100-days EMA), and 0.035 BTC (weekly high).

The RSI is in the bearish territory as it sinks beneath the midline, indicating increased bearish momentum. It would need to start reversing to indicate that the bearish momentum is finally beginning to fade.
