When’s Ether’s chance to shine?Ether and various other major altcoins have followed bitcoin’s recent move up to differing degrees. Positivity comes from futures, likely crypto-friendliness from the incoming American government and the prospect of looser monetary policy in the USA, while important unique factors in favour of Ether particularly include a much lower price than bitcoin and a large distance remaining before the previous all-time high.
The next likely strong resistance is the area of July’s highs around $3,500. Overbought isn’t usually a key factor for a cryptocurrency under these conditions of strongly positive sentiment, but there hasn’t been such a visible jump in volume for Ether compared to bitcoin.
The 200 SMA has been decisively broken for now as a dynamic resistance and might flip to being a dynamic support instead, being only slightly below the psychological area of $3,000, so for some new buyers Ether seems more appealing because finding a decent stop looks a lot easier compared to bitcoin. However, many of the same caveats for buyers apply here as with bitcoin: sentiment can change very quickly and higher liquidity can make downward as well as upward movements faster and less predictable.
