The price of Ethereum rallied in the short term as BTC/USD jumped higher as well. Still, the altcoin stands below strong resistance. 1,730 represents an upside obstacle. ETH/USD increased by 9.17% from 1,581 to 1,726 today's high.
In the short term, Ethereum retreated but the bias remains bullish. In the last 24 hours, ETH/USD is up by 3.33% but it's down by 0.61% in the last 7 days. After its last rally, a temporary drop was natural before trying to resume its growth.
ETH/USD Leg Higher Intact!
ETH/USD retested the uptrend line and now it could challenge 1,730 again. This level represents strong resistance. Taking out this obstacle may signal further growth. As long as it stays above the uptrend line, the altcoin may resume its growth.
Its failure to stay below the weekly pivot point of 1,607 announce strong upside pressure. Only a valid breakdown below the uptrend line could announce a larger drop and could invalidate the upside scenario.
ETH/USD Outlook!
A valid breakout above 1,730 could signal further growth toward the major downtrend line, up to 1,900.
