TA: Ethereum Holds Strong Above $600, Why ETH Could Surge Above $620

Ethereum started a strong increase and broke the $600 resistance against the US Dollar. ETH price is up over 4% and it could even surge above $625.

  • Ethereum remained in a positive zone and climbed above the $600 resistance level.
  • The price traded close to the $620 level (as discussed yesterday) and settled above the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a key rising channel forming with support near $595 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair is likely to continue higher above the $620 and $622 levels in the near term.

Ethereum Price is Showing Positive Signs

Yesterday, we discussed the chances of more upsides in Ethereum towards the $620 resistance. ETH price did gain bullish momentum above the $585 and $600 resistance levels.

It traded close to the $620 resistance and settled above the 100 hourly simple moving average. A high is formed near $618 and ether is showing positive signs similar to bitcoin. It is currently consolidating gains and trading near the $607 level.

There was a minor break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $572 swing low to $618 high. On the downside, there are many supports forming, starting with the $600 level.

The first key support is near the $595 level. There is also a key rising channel forming with support near $595 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The channel support is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $572 swing low to $618 high.

On the upside, ether is facing hurdles near the $618 and $620 levels. A clear break above the recent high and $620 might spark a larger upward move. The next stop for the bulls could be $635 or even $642 in the near term.

Dips Supported in ETH?

If ethereum fails to clear the $618 and $620 resistance levels, there could be a minor downside correction. The channel support at $595 holds the key.

A downside break below the $600 level and the channel support could lead the price towards the $580 support zone. Any further losses might call for a test of the $570 level or the 100 hourly simple moving average.

I Stand By My $100,000 Bitcoin Price Target, Anthony Scaramucci

Anthony Scaramucci has again reiterated his stand on why he thinks bitcoin will still hit the $100,000 price target he had earlier set. Scaramucci had put forth this forecast when he was on Yahoo! Finance earlier in the year. The founder explained that bitcoin could easily be trading at $100,000 in 12 months. Anthony Scaramucci who founded Skybridge Capital in 2005 has not always been bullish on bitcoin. But has slowly come around over the years and has now gotten into bitcoin.

Whale clusters suggest that this key Bitcoin level can trigger an explosive rally

Whale clusters show that $57,046 and $60,045 are the crucial support and resistance areas in the short term.  In other words, the probability of a strong breakout in the foreseeable future would increase substantially if Bitcoin stays above $57,046 and continues to test $60,000 resistance. Why whale clusters are important for Bitcoin Whale clusters form when high-net-worth investors buy or sell Bitcoin at a certain price and do not move their holdings thereafter. As such, a whale cluster support typically serves as a strong macro support area for Bitcoin because whales tend to buy more when BTC falls to a level where they initially bought BTC. On the flip side, a whale cluster resistance area would likely hold up as a sell area because whales are mo...
