Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH/USD $142 is no man’s land – Confluence Detector
|- Ethereum price stuck under $140 after failing to rise above the hostility at $142.
- ETH/USD buyers remain in control but lack a catalyst to support their effort towards $150 and $160 key levels.
Ethereum price hovers under $140 after $142 resistance level became impenetrable for the second time in the same week. Jabs thrown by the bulls on Thursday gained momentum but failed to sustain gains above $140. An attempt to break free from the selling pressure at $140 failed incredibly resulting in losses that touched $138.45 on Friday during the Asian session.
At the time of writing, ETH/USD is trading slightly in the green after adding a mere 0.08% onto its value. Unfortunately, the trend is bearish and the volatility high. This means that sellers have more say unless the buyers come out strongly to shatter the resistance at $142.
Meanwhile, the 2-hour chart shows Ethereum trading above the 50 SMA and the 100 SMA. Besides, the RSI is leveling at 60 after advancing upwards from a weekly low at 35. The Elliot Wave Oscillator has commenced a bullish session to emphasize the bulls are gaining traction, although gradually. $142 is the wall between Ethereum and higher levels at $150 and $160 respectively.
