Ethereum Slumps But Holds Above $4,200

The price of Ethereum is falling, but is still between the moving average lines.

The bears have an extra advantage over the bulls as they broke the 21-day SMA on August 29, as reported by Coinidol.com. The decline will continue above the 50-day SMA support.

Ethereum price long-term analysis: bearish 

Today, the cryptocurrency is worth $4,335, but it is trading above the 50-day SMA support and below the 21-day SMA resistance. The largest altcoin will resume its uptrend if buyers keep the price above the 21-day SMA barrier.

However, based on the current price, Ethereum is expected to fall below the 50-day moving average. On the downside, a break below the 50-day SMA support will force Ether to drop to the low above the 2.0 Fibonacci extension level or $3,750.42.

Technical Indicators:

• Key Resistance Levels – $4,500 and $5,000

• Key Support Levels – $3.000 and $2,500
