Ethereum Price Prediction: Whatever happened to the 200-Week Moving Average?

  • Ethereum price hovers 20% above the 200-Week Moving Average.
  • A retest of the historical barrier has not yet occurred.
  • A successful retest and rally signal could send the ETH price as high as $2,800.

Conversations have all but disappeared surrounding the historical technical indicator that was on every crypto newsfeed this summer. This article aims to reignite the conversation about the 200-Week Moving Average (WMA) as the Ethereum price will need a stable floor to land on before another bull run can occur.

Ethereum price could retest $1260

Ethereum price managed to hurdle back above the 200 WMA on July 16 after three failed attempts stifled breakout bulls' ambition. The 4th attempt was the catalyst to a 67% recovery rally as Ethereum topped out at $2,030 on August 14. 

Ethereum price currently auctions at $1,592. 200-WMA hovers 20% below the current market value at $1,2563. Investors may want to consider keeping one in the chamber as the retest of the barrier has not yet occurred.

A classic retest-and-rally signal from the historical barrier could be the next Ethereum bull run that could rally as high as $2,800. If the ideal scenario presents itself, the invalidation level should be below the June 18swing low at $881.
