ETH may experience a rapid slide below the triangle if it fails to survive above $1,300.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - ETH has increased by 3.68 percent during the past week and currently testing the dynamic resistance at the 50 EMA after declining by 22.34 percent over the previous month.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Currently, the price is holding above the 9 EMA and roaming inside the large bullish candle plotted on November 30th. A break above the current consolidation range may trigger a bullish trend reversal.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - The Relative Strength Index (RSI) value keeps rising above 50, indicating ETH is still holding bullish momentum. However, the 100 EMA is still moving below the 200 EMA, signaling a bearish crossover.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
