Ethereum price analysis: heavy losses expected below $365 level

Ethereum has posted a bearish weekly reversal candle, following four weeks of straight gains for the second largest cryptocurrency.

Ethereum price analysis shows that a loss of the $365 level could accelerate technical selling below the $300 level.

ETH/USD medium-term price trend

The ETH/USD pair is trading at a critical juncture over the medium term, following last week’s bearish reversal from the $440 area.

Ethereum technical analysis shows that further medium-term losses are expected while the price trades below the $395 level.

The daily time frame shows that continued daily price closes under the 23.6 per cent Fibonacci retracement of the 2018 trading low, to the all-time price high (around the $395 level) is likely to encourage technical selling.

Furthermore, the last weekly candle closed under this important Fibonacci level, placing the emphasis on further downside for the ETH/USD pair.

Traders should note that medium-term bulls are likely to buy into dips towards the $300 support level, in expectation of a powerful counter rally back towards the $440 level, and possibly the $500 level.
