Ethereum Price Holds Near $2,300 as Market Struggles to Break Resistance

Ethereum price has been bearish after failing to breach critical resistance barriers at $2,400. At press time, ETH is trading at $2,300.40, which has seen 24-hour volume transactions of $22.90 billion, while the market capitalization stands at $276.90 billion. ETH Price has declined 2.02% over the last 24 hours.

Ethereum Realized Cap Shows Recovery

Crypto analytics firm, Alphractal, signaled that there were some early indications of change in on-chain dynamics. Alphractal noted that the ETH Realized Cap was increasing after eight weeks of stagnation. This development implies that fresh funds are gradually coming back into the blockchain despite the low ETH Price.

Ethereum Price Faces Strong Resistance

The ETH Price tried to reach levels of $2,374, yet fell back from there. A Crypto analyst, Ted, commented that despite several attempts to remain above $2,400, they were unsuccessful, with the reason being poor demand on the spot market. Until the situation changes for the better, the Ethereum Price will keep struggling with rises.

Ethereum Price Momentum Weakens Below Key Levels

The ETH price is currently trading around $2,300; however, technical indicators point to weakening momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI (14)) currently rests at 50.79, which is lower than its moving average at 53.66. This indicates that the ETH price is currently in a balanced market condition.

Furthermore, the MACD is another confirmation of weakening momentum. While the MACD line stands at 24.13, it remains below the signal line of 29.74. The histogram is now showing a negative value of -5.10. This suggests that the upward momentum on the ETH price is waning.

Despite the ETH price being above the 20-day SMA at around $2,318, there seems to be indecisiveness in the present setup. Without the return of increased buying interest, the Ethereum Price could remain range-bound or even drop further.
