Ethereum Holds above $1,400 as Buyers and Sellers Struggle for Price Possession

On August 28, Ethereum (ETH) fell to a low of $1,424 as bulls bought the dips. The biggest altcoin is in an upward correction after the recent decline.

The cryptocurrency may have exhausted the downside move as it has regained the previous lows from July 26. During the price action on July 26, the bulls bought the dips as the altcoin returned to the previous highs.

Today, Ether is consolidating above the current support for a possible upside move. To the upside, Ether will regain momentum if buyers keep the price above the resistance at $1,700. In other words, if the price rises above the moving average lines, Ether will resume its uptrend. Conversely, selling pressure will resume if the altcoin turns away from the 50-day line SMA. Ether will then drop further to $1,274.50.
