Ethereum Price Prediction: Can Ethereum finally hit $500?
Ethereum price was trading inside a daily ascending triangle from which broke out on October 22 hitting $420. Days later, the digital asset re-tested the previous upper boundary of the pattern but couldn’t hold it as a support level.
ETH/USD daily chart
Bulls did manage to defend the lower boundary of the triangle pattern which coincided with the 50-SMA and the 100-SMA at $380 and Ethereum price is now $402 after a significant spike thanks to the announcement of ETH 2.0.
ETH IOMAP chart
The In/Out of the Money Around Price chart shows almost no opposition until $463 when compared to the colossal support area between $389 and $401, where 1.38 million addresses bought more than 11.6 million ETH, increasing buying pressure.
ETH/USD 1-hour chart
On the 1-hour chart, the RSI is overextended and the TD sequential indicator seems to be on the verge of presenting a sell signal after a massive 5% candlestick. Validation of the signal can drive the price of Ethereum down to the 200-SMA at $388.
