Ethereum Recovers above the Critical Support at $380, May Resume Uptrending

Oct 31, 2020 at 12:00 // News

For over a week, Ethereum has been on a downward move. This current downtrend was caused by the bull’s inability to push ETH above the $420 resistance level.


Yesterday, sellers pushed the biggest altcoin to the low at $374 but the price corrected upward above the $380 support. The bears and the bulls appear to battle with the price above the critical support at $380. 


This critical support will determine the direction of price movement. The market will continue to trend on the downside if the bears break the support at $380. There is a possibility of a further decline to the low at $340. Conversely, if the bulls defend the critical support, Ether will rise and retest the $420 overhead resistance. Meanwhile, the coin is trading at $390 at the time of writing.
