Let’s take a closer look at the Ethereum price movement and determine where it is heading to next.

Trading Range
The Ethereum price has been trading in a range between $213-$231 over the past two days. While it briefly moved above this level on Feb. 27, it immediately decreased inside it.
The decrease continued until the price validated the bottom of the range once more, then the trend reversed and ETH has been moving upward since, going above the middle of the range.
In order to determine the future movement, a look at a higher time-frame is required.
Ascending Support Line
The Ethereum price has been following an ascending support line since Jan. 2, 2020. The recent decrease served to validate the support line for the fourth time, and the price created a long lower wick and moved upward. The decrease also validated the 50-day moving average (MA).
Besides this support line that suggests the price will increase, a bullish cross between the 50- and 200-day MAs transpired on Feb. 16.
So, the price is expected to move toward the top of the short-term range discussed in the previous section.
Double Bottom
Going back to the short-term movement, we can see that the price has created a double bottom, combined with long lower wicks. Even more, this bullish reversal pattern has been combined with bullish divergence in the RSI.
Therefore, the price is expected to increase and eventually reach the resistance area at $248, which was the previous breakdown level.
To conclude, the Ethereum price has completed a double bottom and is expected to move upward toward the next resistance area at $248.
