ETH/USD is plunging amid the ruling by the judge, $185 vital to the recovery

Ethereum, the second cryptocurrency in market capitalization, continues its free-fall.  Various regulatory issues  have hurt the broad cryptocurrency world and Vitalik Buterin’s disparaging words have sent the ETH/USD to new lows. What’s next?

The  Technical Confluence Indicator  shows that the first resistance line is at $175  where we see the convergence of the Pivot Point one-day Support 1, the SMA 5-one-hour, and Bolinger Band 15m-Middle, the BB 4h-Lower, and the one-day low.

Further up we see a stronger line at $180  which is the meeting point of the BB one-day Lower, the Simple Moving Average 5-4h, and the BB 15m-Upper.

The most substantial resistance is at $185  where we see the confluence of the all-important Pivot Point one-week Support 1, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day. A recovery above this line will return the blood to bulls’ faces.

Looking down, support lines are far and few between. At $163  we see the Pivot Point one-day Support 2. Lower, $153  is the Pivot Point one-week Support 2 followed by the PP one-day Support 3.

All in all, there is more room for further falls.

The Confluence Detector finds  exciting opportunities using Technical Confluences.  The TC is a tool to locate and point out those price levels where there is a  congestion of indicators,  moving averages,  Fibonacci levels, Pivot Points, etc. Knowing where these congestion points are located is very useful for the trader, and can be used as a basis for different strategies.

This tool assigns a certain amount of “weight” to each indicator, and this “weight” can influence  adjacents  price levels. These weightings mean that one  price level without any indicator  or moving average but under the influence of two “strongly weighted” levels accumulate more resistance than their neighbors. In these cases, the tool signals resistance in apparently empty areas.
