Analysis and tips on how to trade ETH

The price tested the level of 1,879 when the MACD just started to move down from the zero point, which confirmed the sell entry point. Quotes fell by over 140 pips. Today, I expect the price to move according to Scenario 1 due to the release of important statistics in the US that determines the Fed’s monetary policy and demand for risk assets. If US inflation slows down, demand for ETH will mount, driving the price to the level of 2,000. Otherwise, ETH may go below 1,881 support. In such a case, a correction is likely.

Signal to buy:

Scenario 1: I will buy ETH today after the price reaches 1,897 (green line of the chart), targeting 1,913 (thicker green line). I will close long positions in the area of 1,913 and open short ones. Growth will extend if US inflation data disappoints. Important! Before buying the instrument, make sure the MACD is above zero and just starts moving up from this level.

Scenario 2: I will also buy when the price tests the mark of 1,881 twice, with the MACD being in the oversold zone at that moment. This will limit the instrument’s downside potential and lead to a bullish reversal in the market. The quote may go either to 1,897 or to 1,9013.

Signal to sell

Scenario 1: I will sell ETH today after the price tests the mark of 1,881 (red line on the chart), which will cause a rapid fall in value. The bearish target is seen at 1,866 where I will close short positions and buy the instrument. ETH may feel pressure if inflation in the US accelerates. Important! Before selling the instrument, make sure the MACD is below zero and just starts moving down from this level.

Scenario 2: I will also sell the instrument after the price tests the mark of 1,897 twice, with the MACD being in the overbought zone at that moment. This will limit the pair’s upside potential and lead to a bearish reversal in the market. The quote may then go either to 1,881 or to 1,866.

MACD. When entering the market, it is important to pay attention to the overbought and oversold zones.

Important! Novice crypto traders should be very careful when deciding to enter the market. Before the release of important fundamentals, you should stay out of the market in order to avoid sharp fluctuations in the rate. If you decide to trade during news releases, make sure to always place a stop order to minimize losses. Without the order, you may quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do use money management but trade large volumes.

Remember that in order to succeed in the market, you should have a clear trading plan, like the one I presented above. Spontaneous decisions based on the current state of the market are a losing strategy for an intraday trader.
