Ethereum Price Support and Resistance
Ethereum price is 2.58% lower at $241.69 close to daily lows as the price stalled at the 250 mark during June. The technical outlook is bullish for the number two cryptocurrency, but a correction down to 230 can’t be ruled out. Only if Ethereum breaks below the 50-day moving average might cancel the positive momentum.
On the downside, immediate support for Ethereum stands at 239.00 the daily low. The next level for ETHUSD to watch in case of further selling pressure is at 233.57 the low from July 7 trading session. Bears will take control if the price breaks below the 50-day moving average at $213.90.
On the flip side, initial resistance stands at $251.01 the daily top. The next hurdle for Ethereum will be met at $250 – 251 zone which proved a strong resistance the last weeks. In case of a break higher, the ETH bulls will be looking for an extension above 264.13 the high from February 25.
