A mostly flat day so far for ETH, ranging between $1,881 and $1,897.63; currently at $1,887.17.
Ethereum made an initial break below its 3 day Simple Moving Average at $1,887, a possible indication of a forthcoming negative trend. Ethereum's upper Bollinger Band® is at $1,953.52, suggesting that a downward move may follow. In contrast, Ethereum is approaching key support, around $16.06 away from $1,871. Dipping below could indicate further losses are ahead while a failure to break below this level is likely to be seen positively by market bulls.
Despite the market lacking direction, technical chart analysis strongly suggests Ether is positioned for a downward move in the near term.
