Ethereum price prediction: ETH/USD targets $175 – Confluence Detector

  • Ethereum surged posting formidable gains that touched $180 (resistance congestion area).
  • Ethereum is strongly supported at $160.70 and $154.80.

Ethereum continues to make headway above the support congestion zone between $155 - $160. The price recently surged posting formidable gains that touched $180 (resistance congestion area). A flash drop on Wednesday evening sent ETH/USD back to the support area at $155 - $165. However, it seems that the retracement was a necessary setback because it has allowed the bulls to increase their positions sending Ethereum above $165.

The journey to the target at $175 will not face acute resistance as per the confluence detector tool. Initial resistance is seen at $166.88: Previous high 4-hour and previous high 15-minutes. If ETH/USD sustains growth above this level, the next significant hurdle will be faced at $170.34: Pivot point 1-day R2. A breakout is expected on touching $175.52: Pivot pint 1-month R3and the Bollinger Band 4-hour upper.

In the event the trend reverses, the first important support is $160.70: Pivot point 1-week R3, 50 SMA 15-minutes, 10 SMA 4-hour, pivot point monthly R2, Bollinger Band 4-hour middle and 10 SMA 4-hour. Further down, the digital asset will find solace at $154.80: Previous low 1-day, pivot point 1-week R2, pivot point 1-day S1, 5 SMA daily and 200 SMA daily.
