Price activity has managed to remain above the 50-bar MA (hourly), contributing to some short-term bullish sentiment, and the 50-bar MA (hourly) recently crossed above the 100-bar MA (hourly), another bullish development.  The 200-bar MA (hourly) is still trading above both the 50-bar MA (hourly) and 100-bar MA (hourly), but if either is able to cross above the 200-bar MA (hourly), it will also be a positive technical development. Above current market activity, traders are monitoring the 8252.93 and 8287.34 areas as areas of potential technical Resistance. Below current market activity, traders are monitoring the 8052.66, 7984.15, and 7899.38 areas as areas of potential technical Support.

Price activity is nearest the 50-bar MA (4-hourly) at 8,176.38 and the 200-bar MA (Hourly) at 8,172.63.

Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH/USD) was lifted higher early in today’s Asian session as the pair traded as high as the 182.54 area after trading as low as the 177.42 level late in yesterday’s North American session.  Some minor Stops were elected above the 182.29 area during today’s early ascent higher, representing the 61.8% retracement of the 185.30 – 177.42 range.  The 181.36 area represents the 50% retracement of the same range and was toppish late in yesterday’s North American session.

Notably, the 191.40 area represents the 50% retracement of the 302.20 – 80.60 range. Below current market activity, the 175.82 and 173.44 areas represent areas of possible technical Support.

Price activity is nearest the 200-bar MA (4-hourly) at 184.16 and the 50-bar MA (Hourly) at 178.40.
