Ethereum Outlook

Ethereum continued to push higher today as it broke past yesterday’s closing price at $1100 to reach as high as $1170. It has since dropped slightly as it battles with the resistance near $1140 – provided by a long term bearish .786 Fib Retracement level.

The coin has been making higher highs over the past month and has surged by a total of 55.5% in the past 7-days alone. On the way up, it penetrated above long term resistance at $975 (1.272 Fib Extension), $1000, and $1042 (1.414 Fib Extension) to reach the current $1140 level. It’s a 3-year high for ETH as well.

It is now just underneath 20% of its previous ATH at $1425 and could reach this level this week.

Momentum Indicators

Momentum is a general term used to describe the speed at which prices move over a given time period. Generally, changes in momentum tend to lead to changes in prices. This expert shows the current values of four popular momentum indicators.

Stochastic Oscillator

One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 88.3504. This is an overbought reading. However, a signal is not generated until the Oscillator crosses below 80 The last signal was a sell 5 period(s) ago.

Relative Strength Index (RSI)

The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 86.57. This is where it usually tops. The RSI usually forms tops and bottoms before the underlying security. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a sell 4 period(s) ago.

MACD

The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a buy 11 period(s) ago.
