TA: Ethereum Price Holds Strong, Why Dips Remain Limited Below $1,850

Ethereum gained bullish momentum above the $1,850 resistance against the US Dollar. ETH price is currently correcting lower from $1,945, but it might find bids near $1,850.

  • Ethereum is in a positive zone and it recently climbed above the $1,900 resistance.
  • The price is now well above the $1,850 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a short-term contracting triangle forming with support near $1,915 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could correct lower, but the bulls are likely to remain active above $1,850.

Ethereum Price Extends Gains

Ethereum started a fresh increase after it broke the $1,850 resistance, similar to bitcoin. ETH even surpassed the $1,920 resistance and settled nicely above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

However, the price struggled to continue higher above $1,945 and $1,950. There were two attempts to clear $1,945, but the bulls failed. A high is formed near $1,946 and the price is currently correcting lower. There was a break below the $1,920 support level.

The price is now approaching the $1,915 support. There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with support near $1,915 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

If there is a downside break, the price could test the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $1,769 swing low to $1,946 high. On the upside, the $1,945 and $1,950 levels are immediate hurdles. A clear break above the $1,950 resistance could clear the path for a test of the $2,000 level. Any more gains might call for a move towards the $2,045 level.

Dips Limited in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to climb above the $1,945 and $1,950 resistance levels, it could correct lower. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,905 level.

The first major support is near the $1,860 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $1,769 swing low to $1,946 high. The main support is now forming near the $1,850 level (the recent breakout zone), below which ether price might decline towards the 100 hourly SMA at $1,800.

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 now declining towards the 60 level.

Major Support Level – $1,850

Major Resistance Level – $1,950

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 ...

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...

Meta's head of crypto to step down at end of year

In explaining his decision to leave Meta, David Marcus said that his entrepreneurial DNA had been nudging him “for too many mornings in a row to continue ignoring.” David Marcus, the head of Meta’s cryptocurrency and fintech unit Novi, will step down from his role by the end of 2021. Taking over from Marcus will be Stephane Kasriel, the former CEO of Upwork who has been at Meta, formerly known as Facebook, since August 2020. Marcus announced the decision via a Dec. 1 tweet , noting that he had made the “difficult decision” to leave the firm by the end of this year. The exec didn’t go into detail about what his next move would be, but hinted that it may be something “new and exciting” that he builds himself: “While there’s still so much to do right on the heels of launching Novi — and I remain as passionate as ever about the need for change in our payments and financial systems — my entrepreneurial DNA has been nudging me for too many mornings in a row to continue ignoring it.” Ma...
