Ethereum Price Analysis: At $130, ETH Is At A Crossroad, Will The Bulls Finally Wake Up?


  • Ethereum has seen a small 3% price increase over the past 7 days as it trades at the $130 level.

  • Against BTC, ETH still is struggling to break above the resistance at 0.01820 BTC.

  • Ethereum must break above $135 to turn bullish.
Key Support & Resista

Support:  $128, $120, $118.

Resistance: $133.50, $145, $152.
ETH/BTC:
Support: 0.0171 BTC, 0.0169 BTC, 0.0164 BTC.
Resistance: 0.0179 BTC, 0.0184 BTC, 0.019 BTC.
ETH/USD –  ETH Still Struggling To Break $133.50 

Since our last analysis, ETH rolled over from the resistance at $135, causing it to fall into the support at $128.35. The bulls have defended this area, however, the momentum is certainly within the bearish favor at this moment.
If ETH was to drop and fall back beneath the $120 level, the market would be considered bearish. On the other hand, to turn bullish, Ethereum must rise and break above the December highs at $152.
Ethereum Short Term Price Prediction
If the bulls defend the support at $128 and push ETH above $135, an initial resistance is then located at $146, $152, and $158 (100-days EMA). Above this, resistance lies at $165 and $180 (200-days EMA). Alternatively, if the sellers push ETH beneath $128, support lies at $125, and $120. Beneath this, added support is found at $116.
The RSI attempted to break above the 50 level but failed to do so, which shows that the sellers remain in control over the market momentum. Furthermore, the Stochastic RSI recently produced a bearish crossover signal that should help to send the market lower.
ETH/BTC – ETH Fails To Make Movement Above 0.0182 BTC



Against Bitcoin, ETH has remained positive but failed to break above resistance at around 0.0182 BTC. The cryptocurrency has traded sideways as it remains supported at the 0.0179 BTC level.
For this market to be considered as bullish, ETH must rise and penetrate back above the 0.02 BTC level. If ETH was to drop beneath the support at 0.0171 BTC, then the market would be considered bearish.
Ethereum Short Term Price Prediction
If the bulls manage to break above 0.0182 BTC, immediate higher resistance lies at 0.0185 BTC. Then, resistance lies at 0.019 BTC, 0.196 BTC, and 0.020 BTC (100-days EMA). On the other hand, if the sellers push ETH beneath 0.0179 BTC, immediate support is found at 0.0175 BTC and 0.0181 BTC (.886 Fibonacci Retracement level). Beneath this, additional support is found at 0.0169 BTC and 0.01642 BTC.
The RSI is marginally above the 50 level which shows indecision within the market at this moment in time. Worryingly, the Stochastic RSI is primed for a bearish crossover signal that should send the market lower.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits All-Time High: Here’s How It Works And How It Affects The Price

Bitcoin intelligence, data, and analytics firm Glassnode found the Bitcoin hash rate hit a new all-time high over the weekend, ten days before the Bitcoin halving event. In other words, miners are putting more computational power into maintaining the Bitcoin network. Because miners must venture electricity and capital intensive computer processors to mine Bitcoin, the increase in hash rate is a bullish sign. It means miners are after the Bitcoin rewards they get from maintaining the network. And they’re venturing the resources to go after those rewards. Is The Bitcoin Hash Rate Correlated With The Price? In general, the Bitcoin price and the hash rate are not correlated. The price is what buyers and sellers agree to pay for one Bitcoin, and there are many factors – external and internal – affecting the price. However, there is a relation between the two. While the price goes up, it’s more profitable to mine, which likely to cause more miners to turn on their mining equ...

The State Of Illinois Legalizes Blockchain-Based Smart Contracts

The US State of Illinois made a massive step towards further blockchain adoption. According to the Blockchain Technology Act, which took effect on January 1st, blockchain-based smart contracts satisfy the law under certain circumstances. Smart Contracts Admissible In Court One of the biggest challenges in front of regulators when it comes to crafting legislation for the cryptocurrency field is definitions. The SEC, for instance, has been struggling for quite some time before stating that Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) are not considered securities, while other digital assets launched in Initial Coin Offerings, for instance, pertain to that definition. The State of Illinois, however, has made a serious step towards regulating blockchain-based technologies with the Blockchain Technology Act . The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Keith Wheeler, took effect on January 1st, 2020, and one of the first things that it addresses is the very definition for blockchain itself. “Blockcha...

Bitcoin Opens 2020 With Untypical Stability: Tuesday’s Crypto Market Watch

Bitcoin marked the end of 2019 at around $7,150, which is a notable increase of over 90% since January 1st.  Looking at the price on a smaller time frame, BTC has decreased by 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $7,190. Just yesterday, the largest cryptocurrency attempted to break the $7,400 resistance but to no avail. Part of the reason could be related to the CME price gap at around $7,300, and as it often happens, it was filled in less than 24 hours. If BTC is to increase, it has to break the $7,400 resistance line and $7,700 would follow next. However, if bears take charge, the most notable support lies at $7,000, followed by $6,800 and $6,500. Most altcoins are recording similar price movements of around 1% up or down within the last 24 hours, keeping Bitcoin’s dominance over the entire market at above 68%. Ethereum is at $131; Ripple ranges for several days at around $0,193, and Binance Coin – $13.78. Bitcoin SV is close to $100, recording the m...
