Ethereum price technical analysis

Ethereum is valued at $252 amid attempts to correct towards the next hurdle at $260. The surge from levels under $220, allowed the bulls to focus on higher levels towards $300 and eventually close on 2018’s highs around $360.

From a technical perspective, Ethereum is strongly bullish and likely to remain in the state a while longer. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is holding the position at 84. However, with upward momentum going down, there is a high chance that Ethereum will settle in sideways trading above $250.

On the downside, Ethereum will find more support at the first accelerated trend (black dotted), the second trendline (green dotted) and the major trendline. Other areas to keep in mind are $220 and $200.
