Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Forming a Rising Wedge – is $2000 Retest Incoming?

ETH/USD – Ether Forms Short Term Rising Wedge

Key Support Levels: $2200, $2100, $2035 – $2000.
Key Resistance Levels: $2340, $2400, $2440.

Ethereum has seen a promising start to July as it breaks above the 20-day MA and heads above $2200. The cryptocurrency now faces resistance at $2340, provided by a .236 Fib Retracement, and is trading above a rising trend line.

The rising trend line also forms the lower angle of a rising wedge formation on the 4-hour chart. Typically, rising wedges are bearish patterns, and it could signal a potential retest of the July lows at around $2,000.

ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first strong resistance lies at $2340 (bearish .236 Fib). This is followed by $2400 (50-day MA), $2440 (1.272 Fib Extension & upper angle of rising wedge), and $2550 (100-day MA).

On the other side, the first support lies at $2200 (lower angle of wedge). This is followed by $2100 (20-day MA), and then between $2035 (Feb 2021 highs) & $2000 (200-day MA).

The daily RSI continues to battle the midline, indicating indecision within the market. In addition, the 4-hour RSI is starting to show potential bearish divergence hints and could signal a breakdown of the wedge.

Key Support Levels: 0.066 BTC, 0.063 BTC, 0.061 BTC.
Key Resistance Levels: 0.068 BTC, 0.0689 BTC, 0.07 BTC.

The daily RSI is showing slightly bullish momentum as it sits above the midline. However, the 4-hour RSI shows a clear bearish divergence between momentum and price that could see the market breaking the lower angle of the wedge.
