Price sits below the daily pivot as charts disagree

Ethereum (ETH/USD) last prints at 2675.18 in the Asia session, up 6.98 or 0.26% from the previous close at 2668.2. The daily trend is up, the four-hour chart is mixed and the hourly trend is down, so the evidence leans neither way. Last holds 24.02 dollars below nearest resistance, the daily pivot at 2699.2, on the live Ethereum (ETH/USD) rate.

The day so far spans 12.22 dollars between the day low at 2665.54 and the day high at 2677.76, only 13% of the 14-period ATR at 91.62.

The opportunity reading on news sentiment is -44, a bearish score. The opportunity read moved from 34 (bullish) to -37 (bearish) in 24 hours.

Support, resistance and the pivot ladder

Nearest resistance is the daily pivot at 2699.2, 24.02 dollars above last. Nearest support is the previous day low at 2655.13, 20.05 dollars below. Round 2700 sits just above that pivot. Round 2650 sits under the previous day low.

R1 is at 2743.27, R2 at 2809.84 and R3 at 2853.91. S1 is at 2632.64, S2 at 2588.57 and S3 at 2522.01. The five-day high is 2765.77 and the five-day low is 2634.38. The twenty-day high is 2807.1 and the twenty-day low is 2356.82.

Last price holds above the daily 20-period EMA at 2631.62, the 50-period EMA at 2464.86 and the 200-period EMA at 2274.87. It remains below the H4 20-period EMA at 2691.78, the H4 50-period EMA at 2683.28, the H1 20-period EMA at 2691.96 and the H1 50-period EMA at 2697.98. Daily RSI is 59.9.

Scenarios if the range breaks

A break above R1 at 2743.27 would open the way to R2 at 2809.84. A move back below the daily pivot at 2699.2 would invalidate that view.

If price instead loses S1 at 2632.64, S2 at 2588.57 would be the next objective. A rebound through the daily pivot at 2699.2 would cancel that case.

Bottom line

Ethereum (ETH/USD) shows a small Asia-session gain inside a 12.22 dollar range, sitting below the daily pivot at 2699.2, with daily trend up against a down hourly trend. R1 at 2743.27 and S1 at 2632.64 are the triggers that would end the two-sided tape; until then the bias stays mixed.
