Ethereum Reaches a Fate-Determining Level as Analysts Watch for Volatility

#OhNoCrypto
  • Ethereum’s price action has been closely tracking that of Bitcoin in recent weeks, causing it to see a choppy bout of sideways trading
  • The lack of any real trend in recent weeks has made ETH’s mid-term outlook somewhat unclear
  • That being said, the crypto may now be trading at a pivotal level that determines its near-term outlook
  • One analyst is noting that the price at which it is currently trading has historical significance, and its reaction to its support could determine whether it rallies to $390 or dives to $280

Ethereum and the aggregated cryptocurrency market have been offering investors little insight into the state of the market. Most altcoins have been primarily caught within bouts of sideways trading or slight downtrends.

Bitcoin has been contributing to this market-wide uncertainty, as its price has been caught between $10,200 and $11,200 for the past few weeks.

Until BTC breaks out of this range, it’s more than likely that the cryptocurrency market will continue lacking directionality.

One trader is noting that Ethereum may soon make a large independent movement. He specifically explained that he is targeting either a breakout to $390, or a plunge towards $280.

This comes as it reaches what he describes as being a historically important level.

At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading down marginally at its current price of $350. The cryptocurrency has been offering investors little insight into its outlook as it continues consolidating.

Analysts are now widely noting that where it trends next may depend largely on Bitcoin, which has been guiding the market in recent weeks.

That being said, the key range boundaries for ETH to watch sit around $320 and $360. Which of these levels is decisively broken in the near-term could be what determines its mid-term outlook.

Analyst: ETH Has Now Reached a Historically Important Level

Ethereum’s fate could soon grow clearer, as it has reached what one analyst is describing as being a historically important level.

He notes that its reaction to the resistance between $350 and $360 may spark a nosedive to $280, but this may be necessary in order for the market to then start its “moon mission.”

“ETH: At a pretty important spot here from a historical level + Daily level. Mid term: Breakout to $390 or dump to $280. For now leaning towards $280 in the next few weeks before the 2021 moon landing,” he explained while pointing to the below chart.
