​​Ether stays sidelined 

​Ether bullish case:

​Ether has been trading below its 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $2,530.09 for the past week.

Were an advance above it to take place, the 20 June high at $2,568.97 would be eyed. If bettered, the May highs at $2,737.17-to-$2,788.12 may be reached as well ahead of Ether's early June 5-month high at $2,879.45. 

​Were this level to be exceeded, the 13 January low at $2,925.00 and the 27 January trough at $3,022.00 would become potential technical upside targets. 

​Ether bearish case: 

While the 200-day SMA at $2,530.09​ caps on a daily chart closing basis, the 6 to 27 June lows at $2,387.06-to-$2,384.58 may be revisited.

In case of this support area giving way, the 18 May low at $2,328.10 may be probed as well. 

A fall through this level would likely re-engage the April-to-July uptrend line at $2,206.63 and the 22 June low at $2,115.55.

​Were this support zone to be slipped through, the March peak at $2,103.22 and 19 March high at $2,069.11 would likely be back in sight.
