Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH/USD spirals under $400 – Confluence Detector

Ethereum has spent most of the time this week trying to bring down the resistance at $400. There have been instances where the crypto has made it above this seller congestion zone, however, buyers never managed to sustain gains above $415. The most recent spike traded a weekly high at $408 before giving way for the sellers to start wreaking havoc.

Meanwhile, ETH/USD is trading at $397 at the time of writing. Dominating the market is the ongoing selling pressure. It is apparent that gains above $400 are unlikely in the current session. There could be a reversal above this level if ETH/USD establishes support above the 50 SMA ($393.49).

For now, the path of least resistance is downwards, especially with the technical indicators sending out negative signals. The RSI is almost diving under the midline while the Elliot Wave Oscillator has commenced a new bearish session.

If support at the 50 SMA fails to hold, the 100 SMA at $388.24 would come in handy. However, if losses make it past $380 expect the price to free-fall to $360 and $340 respectively.
