Ethereum’s technical picture
Looking technically, a sustainable move above $300.00 has improved the technical picture significantly; however, the coin is deeply overbought on intraday timeframes, which heightens the probability of the downside correction with the initial support at $300.00 If it is cleared, the sell-off may be extended towards $290.00 with SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) 1-hour and the lower line of 1-hour Bollinger Band located on approach. The next barrier awaits us at $260.00 (SMA100 and SMA200 on 4-hour timeframe).
On the upside, we are in uncharted territory with the next strong barrier created by SMA100 weekly on approach to $381. A sustainable move above this handle will open up the way towards the next bullish aim of $400.00
