Ethereum (ETH) Closes Last Hour Up $1.14; Makes Big Move Relative to Two Week Trend, Moves Up For the 2nd Straight Day, Breaks Above 100 Day Average

The Hourly View for ETH

Last Updated October 9, 2020, 07:015 GMT

Currently, ETH’s price is up $1.14 (0.33%) from the hour prior. It’s been a feast for bears operating on an hourly timeframe, as ETH has now gone down 4 of the past 5 hours. 2 Most noteworthy in the world of moving averages on the hourly chart is that the 20 hour moving average has been crossed, so that price is now turning above it. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.
