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.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD The MACD for ETH/USD is slowly losing momentum in the bullish zone.

Hourly RSI The RSI for ETH/USD is currently near the 60 level.

Major Support Level – $595

Major Resistance Level – $620

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...

INX submits bid for Voyager Digital's assets

FTX US won a $1.4-billion bid to purchase Voyager’s assets in September, but with the firm filing for bankruptcy, the funds were once again up for grabs. Trading platform INX has submitted a bid for an undisclosed amount to purchase the assets of crypto brokerage firm Voyager Digital. In a Nov. 30 announcement, INX said it had sent a non-binding letter of intent for Voyager’s assets following the platform filing for bankruptcy in July. According to INX CEO Shy Datika, the bid was aimed at providing “credibility, technology, and unique regulatory positioning” for Voyager users seeking stability in a volatile market. Voyager’s original bankruptcy filing from the Southern District Court of New York suggested the firm could owe between $1 billion to $10 billion to more than 100,000 creditors amid a bear market and exposure to Three Arrows Capital. In September, FTX US won a $1.4-billion bid to purchase Voyager’s assets, but with FTX Group itself filing for bankruptcy in November, th...
