• Support Levels: $240, $230, $220
Yesterday, May 22, the price of Ethereum was in a sideways trend. The crypto’s price now ranges above the 12-day EMA but trades below the $260 resistance level. The ETH market is range bound between the levels of $230 and $260. The candlesticks pattern has changed to small bodies price bars like the Doji and the Spinning tops.
This described the indecision between the buyers and the sellers at the current market price. Nevertheless, the crypto’s price is above the 12-day EMA which indicates that price will make an upward move. However, if the market continues its range-bound movement, the crypto is set for a price breakout or a price break down.
A price break out would make the market rally above $280 price level. A price break down would further depreciate the crypto’s price. Yesterday, the market fell and depreciated to a low at $243 price level. Nevertheless, the crypto’s price is below the EMAs and will further depreciate to the previous low at $230 price level.
