Ethereum chart, February 7: ETH/USD recovery under threat - confluence detector
|- ETH/USD recovers from lows; momentum is fading away.
- Strong resistance is located on the approach to $108.00.
ETH/USD recovered from Wednesday’s low to trade at $105.14 ant the time of writing. Ethereum gained nearly 2% in the recent 24 hours. However, the upside momentum may be limited due to lack of buying activity on the cryptocurrency market.
From the fundamental point of view, Opera integrated ETH purchase functionality to its browser-based wallets available for Android devices. It means users now can buy Ethereum directly from their wallets. The function is available only in Sweden, Norway & Denmark.
This news might have provided support to the coin. But the bullish momentum is fading away on approach to strong technical levels.
