ETH price looks for an upside extension

The daily chart shows ETH’s price faces a strong resistance hurdle at $1,760. The price formed a bullish Flag and pole pattern and gave a breakout from $1,602 levels. Currently, it retests the level price after making a recent swing high. 

As the price has taken reliable support near the range of $1,600 to $1,570. This, also coincide with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. Further, the price holds along the rising trendline connecting all the previous higher lows. This, all sums up for a bounce back in the ETH price.

Amid sustained buying pressure, the price could recapture the swing high near $1,792 and would aim for $2,000 next.

On the other side of the coin, if the price fell below $1,580 with good volumes, then we can expect a fall of around $1,500.A break below the 20-day moving average placed at $1,490 would open the gate for the low of July 26 at $1,356.07.

The RSI(14) holds near  50 levels, favoring the bullish outlook in the price.

On the hourly time frame, the price gave a breakdown of the “Head & Shoulder pattern”, indicating bearishness. If the price breaks below the session’s low, we can expect further downside toward $1,400.

Alternatively, an acceptance above $1,660 with good volumes could mean the addition of buyers near the lower level. That might prompt further strength in the coin. The 24-hour trading volume rose 25% to $20,920,985,662 according to CoinMarketCap data.
