Ethereum's technical picture
On the intraday level, ETH/USD is capped by $100.00/ This barrier stopped the recovery on Sunday and confirmed its status as strong resistance. If it is cleared, the price will move towards the next short-term hurdle created by SMA50 (4-hour) at $101.50. A sustainable movement above $108.00 (SMA100, 4-hour) is needed to mitigate the bearish pressure.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stays in the middle of the range at 45.70, and give no clear signals. Meanwhile, Momentum attempts to move higher.
On the downside, the immediate support comes at $90.00. Once below, the sell-off may continue towards Saturday's low at $84.72 and to Friday's low at $82.78. This is where fresh buying interest is likely to appear. However, if it is broken, $50.00 may come into focus.
