Ethereum looming breakdown – Confluence Detector
Ethereum is trading below the Simple Moving Averages (SMA) in the 1-hour range. The 50-day SMA is offering immediate resistance while the 100-day SMA will limit gains marginally below $160. Further up, there is not much resistance according to the Confluence Detector tool. There will be a slight struggle at 157.85.
However, after the bulls reclaim the position above $160, they must brace themselves for correction for the seller concentration at $162.65. As mentioned, they have their eyes at $170 but first, they will have to clear the resistance at $165.85 and $169.05 respectively. On the other hand, ETH/USD is supported strongly at $143.45.
