Ethereum Outlook is Bearish
ETHUSD technical outlook is bearish for the short term and a move to lower levels is the possible scenario.
ETHUSD after a consolidation phase around $180 in November broke to lower levels after a warning on cryptocurrencies from the central bank of China, followed by the PlusToken scandal in December. Initial support for ETHUSD stands at 128.27 the daily low. Next support will be met at $122.10 the low from December 27th. A credible break below that level will open the way for a move down to the 2019 low at $98.00
On the upside, first support stands at 130.31 the daily high. More selling pressure will be met at $136.00 the high from December 30th. A strong supply zone stands at 145.57 the 50-day moving average.
