Ethereum Price Prediction for the Weekend: Will ETH Hold $ 2,400?
ETH price had been consolidating in its recent range following a rally from around $1,900 in August. The advance continued to push up through $2,200, and then hit the $2,500 mark multiple times.
The RSI was at 44.09, indicating less momentum but not oversold conditions.
The MACD line was at 0.65 and below the signal line at 12.62. The levels of bear pressure increased, as its histogram dropped to minus 11.97.
A $2,350 holding would provide support for the $2,500 stabilization attempt. A four-hour close above $2,500 would expose $2,550 and $2,600 as per the detailed ETH price analysis.
Failure to defend support could send Ethereum toward $2,300. Continued weakness would then place the stronger $2,200 support area at risk.
