Ethereum Price Analysis: Following the BTC Flash Crash, ETH Takes Aim at ATH Again

21.10.2021 / Payment system news

Key Support level: $3,900

Key Resistance level: $4,380

Ethereum missed breaking the all-time high by less than $5 dollars today and is now preparing for another attempt after a sharp rejection (13% drop on Bitstamp). As we reported earlier, Bitcoin flash crashed on numerous exchanges and even dipped by 87% on Binance US for a second. This dragged the entire market down, but it seems that prices are now recovering.

The bulls quickly bought the support line at $3,900 after the price was rejected, showing that this move has the strength to push us above the key resistance at $4,380, which is also the ETH all-time high.
