Ethereum Price Forecast December 15, 2017, Technical Analysis

Ethereum continues to be noisy as Thursday was negative. We have pulled back to the $650 level, an area that I think makes sense for buyers to start nibbling away on an upward position. I think that there is plenty of support below, but we may have come a little bit too far too fast.

Ethereum continues to be very choppy, as we had initially reached towards the $750 level during the day, only to roll over and fall towards the $650 level. Ultimately, I think that the $600 level underneath is going to offer a bit of a floor, so I look at this pullback as an opportunity to pick up a bit of value. Longer-term, I still believe that Ethereum goes higher, but quite frankly I got ahead of itself so pullbacks like this makes sense. The marketplace will continue to be volatile as per usual, but at the end of the day it’s a marketplace that is positive. Because of this, I believe that there will be plenty of willing participants when it comes to the idea of buying Ethereum, as it is such a bullish currency. However, I think that what we need to see is value, and that something that difficult to suggest when we have had this type of run-up. This is the way markets are supposed to behave, they go higher, then they pull back to pick up more buyers. I think now we are starting to see some sense of stability and normalcy come to the marketplaces in the digital currencies base, as the futures market has brought in a lot of investing by large funds, not only to Bitcoin but to other crypto currencies as well.

Remember, Bitcoin runs the show, Ethereum, although rallying more than Bitcoin this year, steps in line when it comes to the overall directionality. I think that the Bitcoin market needs to start rally again for Ethereum to truly take off, as it would show more of a “risk on” attitude with the crypto currency space. Currently, I see nothing on this chart that tells me I need to jump into the market with both feet, so therefore I think buying slowly is probably the best way to get involved, and to take advantage of the longer-term uptrend. This is a market that can be very volatile, but one that most certainly has plenty of momentum longer term.
