ETH is showing bullish price action on the 4-hour chart for the past week. However, in the past 24 hours, ETH is down 5%. The upcoming resistance stands at $3,391. On a break of this level, the price cap is expected around $3,609.
The technical outlook for the coin is bullish at press time, despite not performing well on the day. ETH price is trading above the 20 SMA, an indicator that buyers in the market are driving the price momentum.
The Relative Strength Index has struggled to stay above the center line for the past week as the RSI dipped below 0. At the time of writing, being close to the 60 mark means buyers are ahead of sellers in the market.
In the event that buyers remain active in the market and ETH continues to trade above the current level in the coming sessions, there are chances that the altcoin will continue to rise in price. In the event of a seller takeover, local support for ETH sits at $3,085 and then $2,839.
The possibility of ETH crashing
Key technical indicators are pointing to an uptrend, although some suggest opportunities for a reversal. On the 4-hour chart, this altcoin has formed a death cross, which is considered bearish. The 200 SMA crossed the short-term 50 SMA, since then ETH has continued to fluctuate near the current price.
The MACD has appeared as a bearish cross, with the histogram in red below the 0. This means bears are taking over and a sell-signal is possible. Consistent with the RSI sell signal, although in positive territory, the indicator was trending down at the time of writing.
ETH volume closed high in the red last session, showing that the bears dominated the previous session. In the event that ETH trades sideways in the following sessions, it could drop to the above support levels.
