ETH/USD

In the last 24 hours the price of Ethereum been going down from 745$ to 715$ and them up to 764$ where it is now sitting, which is an overall increase of 2,17%.



 

Daily chart looks bullish, as the price found support at 0,618 Fibo level and the yesterday’s candlestick is showing a lot of buying pressure, as indicated by the wicks. It looks like 50 EMA is about to cross the 100 days EMA from above, which would indicate the start of an uptrend.



 

On an hourly chart, there is a triangle in which the price of Ethereum consolidated in what it looks like to be an ABCDE correction. As you can see the price broke out of it, retraced back for a retest and continued back up, which is a bullish sign. Hourly EMA’s are starting to cross, which would signal a start of an uptrend.

Conclusion

Even though we are seeing some upward movement we are still in a cryptocurrency correction. The prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum haven’t exceeded prior highs and in the case of Ripple, it’s just a straight down move. After this quick bounce back, I am expecting a lower low which would be a wave C out of ABC correction.
