Ethereum's Range Rumble, Navigating the $1850-$1880 Corridor

Over the past day, Ethereum has exhibited what we refer to as a 'range trend'. This essentially means that the price of Ethereum has been moving between a set range of values, specifically, between $1850 and $1880. This type of trend is typically characterized by horizontal price movements, which suggest a balance between supply (selling pressure) and demand (buying pressure).

In order for Ethereum to break out of this range trend, it would need to cross the upper resistance level of $1880. Resistance is a concept in technical analysis that determines the price level at which the market may have a difficult time surpassing. If the price manages to break through this resistance level, we could anticipate a shift in Ethereum's trend in both the 4-hour and 1-hour timeframes. This could potentially mean that Ethereum might start to climb, entering into what is known as a bullish trend, where buyers outnumber sellers and drive prices higher.

However, if Ethereum fails to maintain the lower boundary, or floor support, of this range trend, we could see a drop in its price. Support is a level where the price tends to find a floor as buying is strong enough to prevent the price from falling any further. If the support at $1850 is breached, Ethereum's price could potentially drop to somewhere between $1785 and $1700. This would represent a bearish trend, where sellers outnumber buyers and prices decline.

Comment:

During the recent downturn, Ethereum experienced a decline, reaching approximately $1,740. However, the market swiftly recovered, resulting in a 0.73% increase, with yesterday's closing price for Ethereum at $1,807. Nonetheless, Ethereum has encountered resistance within the $1,818 to $1,835 range, leading to a shift in its short-term trend within the 1-hour time frame. As we approach the weekend, it is possible for Ethereum to fluctuate within the boundaries of its reactive resistance and support levels.
