Ethereum price analysis: This ground the bulls are pacing on is shaky and dangerous

  • Ethereum is range-bound below $230, besides further declines are apparent.
  • The bulls need a breakthrough above $230 and a fresh catalyst towards $250.

Ethereum is range-bound after the slight recovery at the opening of the session yesterday. The declines on Wednesday devastated the bulls and left them virtually paralyzed. However, we saw a sharp pullback from the lifesaving support at $210. Ethereum stepped above $230 but began correcting lower on reaching $233. The slight bearish corrections have since been supported above the 23.6% Fib level with the last upward swing at $261.96 and a swing low of $210.

The bearish trendline has been limiting gains, alongside the 15-minutes 100SMA currently at $226.90 and the 50SMA at $228.06. The stochastic indicator is ranging at 5 percent in the oversold. This means that the bulls are regaining control by seeking entry positions above the 23.6% Fib level.

Consequently, there must be a break out of the range and the descending triangle for a sustained movement above $230. Establishing a support above $230 is essential to the bulls who are looking forward to reclaiming the broken support at $250. On the downside, the crypto is still at risk for further breakdown beyond the previous support at $210, besides $200 is not only insight but also within reach.
