The main trend of this cryptocurrency remains neutral-bullish and Ethereum (ETH) is eying to $400 as the uptrend continues. The price of Ethereum is still far away from the ETH price predictions but if the price jumps again above $400 that could be a very good opportunity for the short term traders.

Technical Analysis: Bulls are focused on breaking strong resistance level at $400
According to the rules of technical analysis, the main trend of this cryptocurrency is neutral-bullish.
On this chart, I marked important resistance and support levels. The important support levels are $325 and $300, $400 represents the resistance level.
As long the price is above this trend line this cryptocurrency is in the “buy” zone and there is no indication of the trend reversal. If the price falls on the trend line and if we get a “bullish” confirmation candle it would be a very good entry point for short-term traders who are trading with “stop-loss” and “take profit” orders.
The trend line also represents a very strong support level, if the price breaks this trend line it would be a strong “sell” signal and we have an open way to $300. If the price jumps above $400 it would be a signal to buy Ethereum and we have the open way to $430.
Summary
If you are looking for virtual currencies with a good return, Ethereum can be a profitable investment option according to estimates. A very good team stands behind this project, the fundamentals of this cryptocurrency are steadily improving and the price has found strong support above $300.
