Stellar's Lumen makes an early move. With the rest of the pack struggling, however, steering clear sub-$0.058 will be key early on...
Ethereum rose by 2.25% on Wednesday. Partially reversing a 17.31% tumble from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $170.
A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rally to an early morning intraday high $175.25 before hitting reverse.
Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $193.40, Ethereum slid to a late morning intraday low $162.25.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $148.43, Ethereum bounced back to $174 levels late in the day before easing back.
The extended bearish trend, formed at late April 2018’s swing hi $828.97, remained firmly intact. A reversal from June’s current year high $364.49 back through the 23.6% FIB of $257 reaffirmed the extended bearish trend.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.08% to $169.87. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $169.04 before striking a high $170.39.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to move back through and hold onto $170 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $176.08.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $175.25.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum could test resistance at $180 before any pullback.
Failure to move through and hold onto $170 levels could see Ethereum resume the downward trend.
A fall through to $168 levels would bring the first major support level at $163.08 into play before any recovery.
Barring a crypto meltdown, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$160 on the day.
