CoinCodeCap Trading highlighted that Ethereum has scaled above its 200-day moving average of $2,516, a situation that technical analysts would term as crucial. Its asset is experiencing primary resistance at $3,000. Should Ethereum hold onto its gains above this mark, a new goal of a possible price level of $3,450 will be attained. The analysts indicated that such a breakout had the potential to mark a broader rally should the momentum hold.
The support areas are at $2,800, $2,400 and $2,100 with the resistance areas being at both $3,000 and $3,450. Short-term and medium-term trends are still strong, and Ethereum is still leading the market.

MACD Confirms Bullish Momentum
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 73.88, showing that Ethereum is in the overbought zone. This is high-pressure purchasing, but it also indicates short-term profit-taking. Traders should be cautious of price weakness or consolidation in case the volume starts weakening.
A bullish crossover can also be visualized in the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence). The MACD line stands at 54.50, with the signal line at 76.11. The histogram is still growing, which further proves the power of the existing trend, but the market participants must be wary of the possible sudden turn.

Ethereum Holds Key Support
Crypto VIP Signal revealed that Ethereum has escaped the former trading band and crossed an important resistance area. Nonetheless, the analysis notes that ETH must maintain a price above $2,800 in order to sustain momentum. A decline to below that would undermine the current rally and invite sellers back into the market.

The rise of Ethereum above the $3,000 mark has established it as a dominant market head that is technically supported. Analysts think that it is important to stay above 2800 to structure its bullish pattern. With the continuation of the momentum, ETH will soon jump over the $3,450 resistance and create a broader altcoin market.
