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...

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.

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...
