Ethereum Price Technical Outlook

ETHUSD approaches the 200-day moving average an area that rejected twice in January. The last time Ethereum was trading above the 200-day moving average was back on September 23. The technical outlook is positive for the short term as the number two cryptocurrency trades above the 100-day moving average but below the 200-day moving average. Ethereum has formed a strong base around $160, as the rally that started in 2020 looks healthy and strong.

On the upside, initial resistance for ETHUSD will be met at 174.47 the daily top. The 200-day moving average at 176.06 will be the next critical resistance. If the bulls manage to break above that would be the beginning of another rally higher.

On the downside, initial support for Ethereum stands at 169.73 the daily low. Next support would be met at $165.17 the low from yesterday’s trading session. Future support for the crypto pair will be met at 156.97 the 100-day moving average.
