ETH/USD Daily Chart Technical Analysis

Our preference: The bias is to the upside but short-term momentum has turned negative

Alternative scenario: look to reverse on a close below support levels near the 10-day moving average at 907.50

Support

Short-term 10-day moving average near 907.50.

Resistance

The February highs at 983

Comment: Prices have broken through a downward sloping trend line and have yet to reject that breakout. Short-term momentum has turned negative as the fast stochastic generated a crossover sell signal. This occurred in overbought territory as the index is printing a reading of 86, above the oversold trigger level of 80.  The RSI is printing a reading of 51, in the middle of the neutral range which reflects consolidation.

Target: 907
