Yesterday, ETH surged by a strong 12%, which allowed it to climb above a consolidation pattern and hit the previous ATH price. It even set a new ATH marginally higher, around $1439, before coming back down to close the day at about $1380.
Today, Ethereum retreated and dropped by 8%. This was largely caused by a sharp drop in the price of Bitcoin, which also fell by around 8%.
The Bitcoin-driven price drop caused ETH to spike as low as $1230, where it found combined support at a rising trend line and the .236 Fib Retracement level. It has since rebounded and attempts to break back above $1300.
ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, the first level of resistance above $1300 lies at $1350 (1.272 Fib Extension). This is followed by resistance at $1400, $1424 (previous ATH), and $1472 (1.414 Fib Extension). Added resistance lies at $1500, $1530, and $1582.
On the other side, the first level of support lies at $1276. This is followed by $1230 (.236 Fib & rising trend line), $1200, $1100 (.382 Fib), and $995 (.5 Fib).
The RSI is showing signs of strong bearish divergence, which could lead to a large rollover if it plays out.
