ETH looks for upside continuation
On the weekly chart, the ETH price makes reliable support around the $2,150 level, which also forms a ‘double’ bottom formation. At first, the price tested the levels in July and tag the record levels at $,4867.81 in November. ETH price surged more than 100% during that period.
Currently, the price is hovering in a short-term trading range of $2,500 and $3,200 on the weekly time frame. A green candlestick for the third consecutive week will establish a setup for another leg up in the asset.
The first upside hurdle for the bulls is placed at $3,391.40. A weekly close above the mentioned level in combination with the break above the bearish line will bring the psychological $4,000 level into play.
The bearish slopping line, which is extending from the highs of $4,867.81 acts as a strong resistance barrier for the bulls. Thus making a crucial level to trade.
On the other hand, a weekly close below $2,800 will invalidate the bullish outlook for the asset.
