Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Shows Strength, Is $200 In Sight?

Ethereum has seen a promising increase of 4.35% this week which allowed it to reach $183. This recent increase is largely attributed to the solid rebound that Ethereum has been experiencing against BTC. Over the past 4 days, ETH has surged by 10%, reaching the current price at 0.0176 BTC. If the cryptocurrency can continue to increase against Bitcoin, we may see ETH slowly grinding higher above $200.

Ethereum remains the second-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $19.58 billion.

Looking at the ETH/USD 1-day chart:

• Since our previous ETH/USD analysis, ETH started to climb back slowly above the $170 level. The cryptocurrency has recently reached the resistance at $185 but has stalled ever since. 
• From above: The nearest level of resistance lies directly at $185. Above this, higher resistance is found at the previous rising support trend line and then at $194. If the buyers can continue to push the price further, resistance can be expected at $200, $202, $210, and $213. The resistance between $210 and $213 is bolstered by both the 100-days EMA and 200-days EMA.
• From below: The nearest level of support lies at $171. Beneath this, support can be found at $165, $160, $158, $152, and $148.52.
• The trading volume is steady but showing signs that it may increase.
• The RSI has recently penetrated above the 50 level after staying below it for most of August. If it can continue to climb higher, we should see ETH making its way above $200.
