ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, once $1140 is cleared, the first level of resistance lies at $1161 (1.272 Fib Extension). This is followed by $1200, $1275 (bearish .886 Fib Retracement), and $1300.

Beyond $1300, added resistance lies at $1350 (short term 1.272 Fib Extension), $1192 (1.618 Fib Extension), and $1425 (ATH price).

On the other side, support is first expected at $1100. This is followed by $1042, $1000, and $975.

As expected, the RSI is now extremely overbought and is at levels not seen since August 2020.

ETH/BTC – Bulls Battle To Close Above November Highs

Key Support Levels: 0.0321 BTC, 0.0318 BTC, 0.0303 BTC
Key Resistance Levels: 0.0337 BTC, 0.035 BTC, 0.0357 BTC.

Against Bitcoin, Ethereum continued to propel upward from the 2021 support at 0.024 BTC. On Sunday, ETH closed above the 200-days EMA at around 0.029 BTC and continued higher to the 0.033 BTC (Nov 2020 High-day Closing price) resistance at the start of this week. It did spike higher above here on Monday, creating a new 3-month high near 0.035 BTC but is still yet to close above 0.033 BTC.

Today, ETH penetrated further above the 0.033 BTC resistance as it now trades at 0.0333 BTC. A closing candle above 0.033 BTC is required to confirm the break higher toward the November highs.
