Ethereum Holds above $1,500 Support as It Gradually Pushes to the Upside

Ethereum (ETH) is in a downtrend and has recovered 50% as it trades between moving average lines. In short, the largest altcoin crashed and found support above the 50-day line SMA after the price collapse.

The downtrend will continue if Ether loses the 50-day line SMA or the $1,500 support. Secondly, Ether will rise again if the altcoin recovers and breaks out above the 21-day line SMA resistance. 

In the meantime, none of the moving average lines have been broken as the altcoin continues to move within its trading range. On the upside, a break above the 20-day line SMA will push the altcoin to retest resistance at $2,030. On the other hand, if the bears break the 50-day line SMA or the $1,500 support, Ether will fall to the lows of either $1,280 or $1,029.90.
