Ethereum Breakout Above $360 Means Skys the Limit, Believes Cryptocurrency Analyst – BeInCrypto

Resistance areas are very significant in determining the scope of a cryptocurrencys, such as Ethereums, price movements. Once a resistance area is broken, it is likely to act as support afterward and vice versa. A breakout above a resistance area often triggers rapid price increases.

The Ethereumprice was rejected by the $360 resistance area on June 27. A breakout above this area could trigger a rapid increase towards new highs. Until the breakout, ETH is likely to accumulate between the current price and the resistance area.

Cryptocurrency analyst @cryptodude stated that Ethereum is his favorite chart and will be remembered in the future as an essential chart.

He also outlined a resistance line at $360 that has been significant in both May-November 2017 and in June 2019. This might suggest that a breakout above it could cause a similar movement to that in 2017. Why does he think that? Lets take a deep dive and analyze the possibilities.

Looking at the weekly Ethereum chart, we can see that the $360 area acted as resistance throughout May-November 2017.

Afterward, it supported the price in April 2018 before ETH broke down.

Finally, the area acted as resistance again on June 27, the current 2019 high.

However, there is one big dissimilarity between these two movements.

Throughout the 2017 movement, ETH created an ascending support line which held until the price broke out. On the contrary, in the 2019 movement, the support line held for several months before the price broke down. Afterward, ETH came back to validate it as resistance before moving downward. This is a common movement after a breakdown and often indicates that further decreases are in store.

Looking at the daily chart, we can see that the Ethereum price is trading inside a descending wedge quickly approaching the end of the projected pattern.

We can also see that a bearish cross between the 100- and 200-day moving averages (MA) has occurred, signifying that further decreases are ahead.

Therefore, we could see the scenario in which the Ethereum price decreases to the end of the wedge, breaks out, and then continues an upward movement.

So, a very rough outline of how the price movement might follow is given below:

If we try to make a comparison to the emotional phases of the market cycle, this fits right in our hypothesis laid out in one of our previous articles.
