Ethereum (ETH) Price Near $404.21; Moves Up For the 2nd Straight Day, Breaks Above 20 Day Average, Makes Big Move Relative to Two Week Trend

The Hourly View for ETH

Last Updated November 5, 2020, 01:036 GMT

At the moment, ETH’s price is up $2.22 (0.55%) from the hour prior. This is a reversal of the price action on the previous hour, in which price moved down. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 20 hour timeframe. 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.
