The price of Ethereum (ETH) is trading above the 21-day simple moving average (SMA) and is approaching the previous high of $2,400.
Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bullish
Since December 7, buyers have had the intention of continuing the uptrend, but the $2,400 level has prevented further price movement. After the dip on December 11, the altcoin has started a new rally and is currently facing another hurdle at $2,300. In other words, at the time of writing, Ether is worth $2,285.60.
The price rise has come to an end at the high of $2,300. However, a price rise above the current support will take the altcoin above the recent high. The altcoin continues to trade between $2,500 and $3,000. On the downside, sellers have yet to break below the 21-day SMA, indicating that the downtrend has resumed.
