Will the Foreseeable Future Be Any Better?
Considering the Ether to USD 6-hour chart, the bears pushed the bulls below the significant bullish trendline which has support at $605.00. Later, the price went below the 23.6% fib retracement zone from the last wave from $505.69 to $628.21.
The volatility which followed suggests that this downward break may be temporary. The significant support now rests around $580.00 and $575.00.
Currently, the pivot and support level that matters most is $550.00 while there is an intermediate support around $565.00 with another support near the 50% fib retracement zone of the last hike from $505.69 to $628.21.
If Ether bounces back from its current levels, it will face a barrier around the $610.00 resistance. Because Ether failed to climb above $610.00, there was a bearish move initiated with support levels at $565.00, $575.00, and, $580.00.
The important resistance levels to look out for are $615.00, and, $610.00. $580.00, and, $575.00 are the important support levels.
The MACD is near the bearish territory while the relative strength index is near 50.
The next few trading sessions will determine Ether's fate short-term. All we can do is wait and see.
