- Ethereum renews the bullish momentum supported mainly by the RSI and the MACD.
- ETH/USD is supported by a confluence of indicators at $231 and $229 respectively.
Ethereum is arguably the best performing digital asset among the major cryptocurrencies. It has opened the new week’s trading with impressive gains above the descending trendline as well as $230. Bitcoin and Ripple are slightly in the green. BTC is trading 0.8% higher on the day while teeters over 1% above the opening value.
Ether has stepped above the 38.2% Fibonacci level taken between the last swing high of $250.50 to a swing low of $218.08. In addition, the price is currently above the 50 SMA and looking forward to breaking the hurdle at the 50% Fibonacci level ($235).
The prevailing trend is in the hands of the bulls with the RSI moving closer to the overbought region. Another indicator, the MACD is almost crossing into the positive territory as a signal for a stronger technical picture. Gains above $235 must brace for a hurdle at the 100 SMA as well as $240. If the trend does not change, Ethereum could easily sail towards $250.
