Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Unable To Gain Momentum For $220 As It Falls Against Bitcoin


  • Ethereum saw a 1% price hike today as the coin rises to the $208 level.
  • It still needs to take out the $220 resistance to be able to push higher.
  • Against Bitcoin, ETH continues to struggle as it breaks beneath the 200-days EMA support level.
Key Support & Resistance Levels
ETH/USD:
Support: $200, $194, $187.
Resistance: $211, $220, $225.
ETH/BTC:
Support: 0.0223 BTC, 0.022 BTC, 0.0213 BTC.
Resistance: 0.0227 BTC, 0.023 BTC, 0.0236 BTC.
ETH/USD: Ethereum Pushed Higher By BTC
Ethereum has been trapped within a range between $215 and $194 during May 2020. It pushed higher today from the $202 level as it reached $208. However, it is important to note that this is not a push from the ETH bulls but rather a result of BTC breaking above $9,000 again.
Nevertheless, ETH is moving upward, but it still has to face the resistance at $220 (1.272 Fib Extension) if it wants to continue.
ETH/USD Short Term Price Prediction
The first level of resistance lies at $211. Above this, resistance is located at $220 (1.272 Fib Extension), $225, and $230 (1.414 Fib Extension). This is followed by additional resistance at $244 (bearish .786 Fib Retracement).
On the other side, the first level of support lies $202 (.236 Fib Retracement). Beneath $200, added support is found at $194, $187 (.382 Fib Retracement), and $180 (200-days EMA).
The RSI has leveled out above the 50 level as the bulls refuse to give up on their hold of the market momentum.
ETH/BTC: ETH Breaks Beneath The 200-days EMA.
Ethereum’s struggle against Bitcoin continues as it recently dropped beneath the 200-days EMA at 0.0227 BTC. The coin is now trading at 0.0225 BTC after falling for the past 2-weeks from the 0.026 BTC level and looks to be headed lower.
For Ethereum to really surge against the USD, ETH must reverse this downtrend against BTC at the next support level (0.0223 BTC) to stop the ETH/BTC decline.

ETH/BTC Short Term Price Prediction
If the sellers continue to drive ETH lower, the first level of support lies at 0.0223 BTC (.618 Fib Retracement). Beneath this, support lies at 0.022 BTC, 0.0213 BTC (.786 Fib Retracement), and 0.021 BTC.
On the other side, if the bulls can reverse at 0.0223 BTC, resistance will be located at the 200-days EMA (0.0227 BTC), 0.023 BTC, and 0.0236 BTC.
The RSI has reached oversold conditions and is ready to bounce higher to show the selling momentum is fading. Furthermore, the Stochastic RSI is in oversold conditions as well and is primed for a bullish crossover to push ETH/BTC upward.

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...

South Korea Won’t Tax Cryptocurrency Profits, For Now

Good news for cryptocurrency traders in South Korea as profit generated from crypto trading will not be subjected to tax, according to a recent announcement from the country’s Ministry of Finance and Strategy. The Ministry clarified that the current tax law does not consider crypto trading gains as taxable income; thus, Korean crypto traders are not required to pay taxes on the profits they earn from crypto trading for the time being.  However, crypto traders in the country may not be exempted from taxation for a long time. An official of the Ministry said that the Ministry is aware of the loophole in the current tax law, and they are currently reviewing the regulations in major foreign countries so that they can amend theirs in an effective way. “The income tax law is only taxable on income listed as taxable. We are preparing a taxation plan for virtual assets by comprehensively reviewing the taxation of major countries, consistency with accounting standards, and trend...

IN THE NEW DECADE, CRYPTO WILL BECOME ESSENTIAL LIKE EMAIL: SAYS TYLER WINKLEVOSS

It’s the start of a new decade, and industry famous twin Tyler Winklevoss, the co-founder, and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange and custodian company Gemini Trust, has shared his views on what the next ten years hold for crypto. According to Winklevoss, crypto is already becoming more than a niche technology and a form of money, and it will play an essential role in our daily life in the foreseeable future. “Today, crypto is still a niche technology and a form of money. It is not crucial to your everyday life the way email and other web applications are, but our thesis is that this will change — it’s already changing if you look close enough,” Winklevoss wrote. Winklevoss added that the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies, which empowers individuals, will be the driving force within the new decade. Crypto will not only redesign the internet but will also redesign the financial and monetary systems to protect the rights and dignity of users, he said. The Winklevos...
