ETHEREUM PRICE ANALYSIS & PREDICTION (February 17) – ETH Continues to Face Resistance at $2.8k, Can it Push Higher

0

Ending last week’s trading a bit weak, Ethereum showed sign of strength today and continued to retrace. While facing a key resistance level, a strong rejection there could trigger a fresh downturn. 

Ethereum’s bearish movement, which came in the form of a lower low and lower high pattern, remains valid in the short term. But the pressure has temporarily halted since the price recovered from a multi-month low two weeks ago.

On the daily chart, the bearish movement is now suspended as the price targets $2,900 for a retest but the $2,800 level is posing a threat. A push above it could bring us to the target price before resuming bearish.

A new impulsive move from there could set the stage for another drop capable of sliding the price below the $2k level. This should confirm a bearish continuation pattern. If ETH holds the previous low well, we may see a bounce back.

Considering a mid-term reversal, the second-largest crypto by market cap must retake its recent all-time high before validating a major bullish move. For now, the bears are still in control. While several top altcoins have posted minor losses today, Ethereum is defying the odds with a 3% surge since yesterday.

ETH’s Key Level To Watch

The current surge is supported by $2,600. Dipping below this key level may cause serious havoc. However, the next support to watch would be $2,480 and $2,310. The $2,111 level is considered the last defense line for the bulls.

Looking ahead, Ethereum’s next target resistance is $2,920. If it pushes through this level to test $3,000, the next area of interest would be $3,213 and potentially $3,450.

Key Resistance Levels: $2,920, $3,213, $3,450

Key Support Levels: $2,600, $2,480, $2,310

  • Spot Price: $2,655
  • Trend: Bearish
  • Volatility: High
