Ethereum (ETH) – Expected to attract further buying interest in the near-future

Ethereum (ETH) skyrocketed more than 17% after breaching the ceiling of the one-month-old tight sideways range, before pausing the immense rally near a familiar resistance zone around 1,600.

The oscillators are suggesting that the bulls have claimed full control of the reins as the Awesome Oscillator is accelerating north of its zero mark and the MACD has sailed into the positive waters after overstepping its trigger line.

Thus, the buyers will become more confident that the ascent will gain more legs following a significant close above the currently confronted zone marked by the August 4^th bottom of around 1,600. In such a scenario, those are expected to target the September 11^th peak of 1,790. A more aggressive rally could last until the critical August 14^th high at 2,031.

However, it is important to note that while expanding Bollinger bands usually indicate an increase in volatility, price action taking place outside the bands could signal extreme market conditions. The fact that the price is currently hovering beyond the bands, combined with the IMI’s presence inside its overbought territory, is increasing the likelihood of some downside corrections.

Hence, if the 1,600 zone proves to be a tough barrier for the price to overcome, the latter will slide back below the upper-Bollinger band to seek shelter around the August 29^th low of 1,420. Lower, the 20-day simple moving average at 1,338 may try to deter additional declines towards the 1,220 – 1,190 resistance area.

Briefly, buyers may keep leading Ethereum in the medium-term, though to gain more fuel they will probably need to clear the 1,600 resistance region as well.
