Ether: Bearish Continuation Seen Below $2,087
ETHUSD is now moving into a strong bearish channel with the prices trading below the $1,850 handle in the European trading session today.
We can see that the commodity channel index is at an oversold level now, which means that a potential bullish reversal is possible anytime in the markets.
The price of Ethereum may continue to decline further against the US dollar due to the global risk scenario and the flight towards the safe haven assets like the US Dollar and GOLD.
The key resistance levels to watch are $1,941 and $2,260, and the price of ETHUSD needs to cross these levels for a potential Bullish reversal.
ETH has declined by 6.91% with a price change of 136$ in the past 24hrs, and has a trading volume of 15.808 Billion USD.
We can see an Increase of 13.21% in the total trading volume in the last 24 hrs which appears to be normal.
The Week Ahead
Global investors are now looking to liquidate their holdings in the cryptocurrencies, which is the main reason for the continuous fall in the price of Ethereum. The ETH 2.0 planned upgrade has also not been activated, leading to concerns about the future of Ethereum and its market value.
The immediate short-term outlook for Ether has turned strongly BEARISH; the medium-term outlook has turned BEARISH; and the long-term outlook for Ether is NEUTRAL in present market conditions.
This week, Ether is expected to move in a range between $1,600 and $1,800, and next week, it is expected to enter into a consolidation phase above the $1,800 level.
