ETH In Danger Of Falling Despite Positive Sentiment, Needs To Break $2,400 Says PrimeXBT Analyst Kim Chua

Things have started to look positive for the cryptocurrency market, including Etheruem. The second largest crypto by market cap managed to ride a wave of positive sentiment from none other than Elon Musk.

Musk recently revealed that he, Tesla, and SpaceX all held BTC, but also mentioned Ethereum as being part of his bag, and of course Doge. This has seen the price of Bitcoin almost top $40,000 and Ethereum come in at $2,300.

While many experts are now pointing towards a recovery in ETH price, the chart still says the token is not out of danger yet, not at least after it breaches $2,400, explains PrimeXBT Analyst Kim Chua. 

With the area around $1,700 tested four times and failing, it does look like a strong support. However, traders need to take note that $1,700 is also the neckline of a bearish descending triangle which when breached, could take ETH back down to $800. Hence, protecting the $1,700 is very crucial. 

While I do not think that the level would break now, ETH price is not out of the woods until it crosses $2,400 which will in turn flip very bullish for ETH due to it becoming a double bottom which could take it back to $3,300, she added.

Hence traders need to be aware that the level around $2,400 is a very important level to watch in the coming days. We want to see ETH close above $2,400 in order for it to flip bullish.
