Ethereum has started to rally alongside the broader cryptocurrency market this week, however, buyers have finally started to overcome the pair’s key 200-day moving average.

Ethereum technical analysis shows that a series of daily price closes above the $175.00 level could send the cryptocurrency towards the $195.00 level. 

ETH/USD medium-term price trend

The broader cryptocurrency market has been moving higher this week, with Bitcoin threatening to test the $10,000 level for the first time this year.

Continued gains in the BTC/USD pair should be bullish for ETH/USD pair, as the fortunes of the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation are usually highly correlated to Ethereum.

Ethereum price analysis

Ethereum technical analysis shows that the cryptocurrency needs to keep price above the $175.00 level to turn technically bullish.

Key upside targets for the ETH/USD pair are currently located around the $185.00 and $195.00 resistance levels.

ETH/USD bulls need to establish a series of daily price closes above the $175.00 level in order to encourage technical buyers to enter into the new bullish trend.

Also, watch out for a breakout above key trendline resistance on the daily time frame, around the $182.00 level.
