Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH/USD focus shifts $160 despite resistance at $150

Ethereum price majestically steps above $150, comes into contact with $150 resistance but selling pressure cuts short the bullish action.
ETH/USD remains in the hands of the bulls despite the rejection at $150; the path of least resistance is to the north.

Ethereum is slightly in the green on Friday following a relatively bullish week. It calls for celebration among the bulls after the price action achieved the short term goal of stepping above $140 resistance. An intraday high has been formed at $142.51 (current immediate resistance). ETH/USD is trading at $141.89 amid a developing bearish momentum.

The American session on Thursday was treated to a wild bullish movement that saw Ethereum make a wild run-up to $150. Unfortunately, the selling pressure at $150 put an end to the bullish action. The 4-hour chart shows Ethereum trading above the moving averages which is a sign of a stronger influence.

Besides, the 50 SMA is holding position above the 100 SMA. In addition to that, the RSI is making an entrance into the overbought region, further cementing the bulls’ position in the market. For now, the resistance at $140 is in the rearview and focus has shifted to $160.
