  • The pivotal resistance is created by the broken trendline.

Ethereum’s daily trading volume has exceeded $14.5 billion, while its total market value reached $29 billion.

An upside-looking RSI signals that the bullish sentiments may increase in the nearest future and help the price to reach the above-said short-term target. 

On the downside, the initial support is created by 1-hour SMA50 at $211.00. If it is broken, the sell-off may continue towards $205.50 (1-hour SMA100) and psychological $200.00 with 1-hour SMA200 located below this area.

However, the local resistance created by the previous recovery high at $215.50 prevents the coin from an extended upside movement towards $217.00 and $220.00. The vital resistance comes at $222.50. It is created by a combination of the broken trendline and the upper line of the daily Bollinger Band. A sustainable move above this area will signal the return of the upside momentum.
