Current trend
During more than two weeks, the price of Ether has been moving within the sideways channel 130.00–114.00. Currently, the instrument decreased to its lower border, which it cannot yet break. In case of a breakdown and consolidation below the level of 112.50 (Murrey [1/8]), the path to the level of 100.00 (Murrey [0/8]) will open. The probability of decline is confirmed by indicators. The Bollinger bands and Stochastic are reversing downwards. MACD histogram is in the positive zone but its volumes are insignificant.
A breakout of the level of 130.00 may cause an increase to the levels of 137.50 (Murrey [3/8]) and 150.00 (Murrey [4/8]). However, there is no significant driver for the beginning of the strengthening of Ether. On the contrary, another postpone of Constantinople update at the end of February affects the price negatively.
