Ethereum is eyeing $235 after Vitalik Buterin’s optimism on Proof of Stake

The price of Ethereum topped $200 and continued marching forward. Vitalik Buterin, the brain behind the world’s No. 1 Altcoin, said that Ethereum’s path to “Serenity” is “really no longer so far away.” The founder’s hopes, voiced at a conference in Prague, sent the ETH/USD higher. What levels should we watch?

The  Technical Confluence Indicator  shows that Ethereum faces an initial hurdle at $212  which is the convergence of the Bollinger Band 4h-Upper, the Fibonacci 161.8% one-week, the Simple Moving Average one-day, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, and the BB 1h-Upper.

The next cap is $219, where we see yesterday’s high, the Pivot Point one-week Resistance 3, and the PP one-day R1. It is followed  by $226  which is the PP one-month R1, but the ultimate target is $235  which was last month’s high.

Looking down, support awaits at $207  where we see a dense cluster of levels including the BB 1h-Lower, the PP 1W-R1, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, the SMA 10-4h, and the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day.

The most substantial level of support is $201  where we see last year’s low, the SMA 10-one-day, the SMA 5-one-day, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week, the SMA 200-1h, the SMA 50-4h, and the PP one-day S1.

All in all, the path of least resistance is up.

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.
