Ethereum’s long-term technical picture
Looking technically, ETH/USD moved outside the daily Bollinger Band with its upper boundary now providing the initial support for the coin ($217.50). Once this barrier is out of the way, the downside correction may gain traction with the next focus on $206.76. This support is created by SMA200 (Simple Moving Average). Meanwhile, ETH/USD long-term sentiments remain bullish as long as it stays above a strong resistance of $200.00. A sustainable move below this barrier will worsen Ethereum’s technical picture and speed up the decline towards $194.00 with SMA50 daily located right below this handle.
On the upside, we will need to see a sustainable move above $220.00 for the upside to gain traction. The next resistance awaits us on approach to the recent high at $224.40. Once broken, the price may extend an upside move towards $228.30 (SMA100 daily) and $230.00
