Ethereum Price Targets
Ethereum keeps the positive momentum despite the recent pullback. The next 24 hours would be crucial for the ethereum price. The two-day positive momentum might end today if the number two cryptocurrency fails at the 4400 mark. Bulls need to penetrate that level if they want to test nest the 4648 level the high from December 3. A move above $4648 would open the way for a test of the all-time highs at $4868.
On the other hand, a rejection at the 4400 mark might lead to a correction down to the strong support offered at 4000, a level that has absorbed the sellers on October 27 and 28 and also on November 18, 19, and 26. A break below that level might accelerate the selling pressure to the next target at $3880 the 100-day moving average. Further pressure might test the recent low at $3482.
