Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH/USD readies for the ultimate lift-off to $340 – Confluence Detector

  • Ethereum seeks support below $320 after sellers gained traction from the new 2020 high around $320.
  • Ether could easily ascend to another new yearly high if bulls purpose on overcoming the falling triangle resistance.

Ethereum price hit a wall at the new 2020 high around $334. Bulls had a plan keep to keep the price above the support at $320, however, this dream was shattered when bearish pressure increased during the trading sessions on Tuesday. The second-largest cryptocurrency was then forced to seek refuge under $320. An intraday low of $312 has been traded on Wednesday (Asian session) but Ether has adjusted slightly upwards to $315 (prevailing market value).

Declines are likely to increase in the current and upcoming sessions based on the strong bearish grip coupled with high volatility. On the other hand, lower, price movements could bounce off support at $310 which is aided by the 100 SMA ($309.71). Consequently, a breakout is anticipated on overcoming the falling triangle resistance. Such a move would have the potential to clear the hurdle at $334 and trade a new yearly high past $340.
