- Ethereum resumed the bullish momentum from the support at $420 but stalled at $440.
- Ethereum could easily rise above $450, especially if the hurdle at $440 is removed.
- Losses back to $380 cannot be ruled out now that a double-top pattern is in the picture.
Ethereum price has had an interesting trading session in the last few days but mainly over the weekend. In addition to correcting a couple of dips to $380 experienced last week, Ethereum staged yet another flight above $400. This time, gains above $400 have proved to be sustainable. ETH/USD hit a wall at $430 at first. Support was embraced at $420 before the crypto bounced upwards breaking above the stubborn resistance at $430.
ETH/USD bulls extended the bullish leg towards $440 but stalled within a whisker of $440. At the time of writing, the second-largest cryptocurrency is trading at $438. The main focus is to clear the hurdle at $440m therefore, buyers have a task to ensure that the price stays closer to $440, hence averting possible losses eyeing $430.

Meanwhile, the technical picture is bullish, especially when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is considered. The indicator currently holds around at 70. Movements into the overbought region are limited, in a way, reflecting the stalling under $440.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has maintained a positive divergence above the midline. A bullish divergence above the MACD suggests that buyers have the upper hand.
In other words, Ethereum is poised for more upward action above $440. However, the formation of a double-top pattern signals to the traders that a reversal is likely to sweep in, especially if the resistance at $440 remains intact. In the case of a reversal, the chance of Ethereum holding above $400 would be slim. The bearish leg could easily extend to $380 and $370 before another reversal occurs. Note that, ETH can also trend higher, even break above $450 if the resistance at $440 is overcome.
