Ethereum stuck at $1750 however the cryptocurrency could soon surge above $1880 as the price is now trading above the 100 hourly simple moving average so let’s read more about it in today’s Ethereum news.

There was a key ascending channel that formed with the support near $1710 on the hourly charts of the pair that could drop to $1650 support but will likely continue higher to $1800. After it managed to surpass the $1650 resistance, ETH started a fresh increase and traded near $1700 but struggled to rise as much as BTC. While the increase lasted, there was a break above the major bearish trend line with the resistance of $1660 on the hourly charts of the pair. The pair gained some pace above $1710 and spiked above the $1750 resistance zone with ethereum stuck at $1750.

Ether traded to a new all-time high of $1777 and is now consolidating the gains. It is trading well above $1650 and the 100 hourly simple moving average with the immediate support nearing the 23.6% fib retracement level from the rally at the $1488 swing low to the $1777 high.  There’s also a key ascending channel that is forming with the support of $1710 on the same chart so if there’s a downside break below the channel support, the price will decline to $1650 support zone. The price is facing a major resistance point near $1760 so a break above it could spark a new rally.

If ETH fails to clear the $1760 and the $1770 resistance levels, it could correct lower so on the downside the first major support will be near the $1660 level. The next major support is near the 100 hourly simple moving average and the 50% fib retracement level from the recent rally of the $1488 low to the $1777 high is near the $1635 level that will provide support in the near-term. The hourly MACD for the pair is slowly losing momentum in the bullish zone while the hourly RSI is well above the 50 level.
