Ethereum has finally broken to the upside, following weeks of sideways trading action for the ETH/USD pair.

Ethereum price analysis shows that the cryptocurrency could rally towards the $275.00 and possibly the $300.00 resistance level over the medium term.

ETH/USD medium-term price trend

Ethereum is trading at its highest level since early March, as a number of top altcoins start to break to the upside. 

The ETH/USD pair has always been boosted by the BTC/USD pair’s recent strong advance above the $9,000 level.

Ethereum technical analysis shows that the ETH/USD pair is testing towards the top of a triangle pattern, around the $250.00 level.

The daily time frame shows that if the ETH/USD pair breaks past the $250.00 level then a powerful rally towards the $300.00 level could take place.

A bullish golden cross has also taken place on the daily time frame, which is generally considered to be a buy signal.

A golden cross occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses over the 200-day moving average.

Medium-term ETH/USD bulls are likely to buy dips towards the $220.00 level in anticipation of further gains towards the $300.00 level.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
