The price of Ethereum has maintained its sideways movement after breaking the uptrend on 13 May.

Ethereum price long-term analysis: ranging

As reported by Coinidol.com on May 30, the 21-day SMA support was broken, but the bulls bought the dips. This indicates further sideways movement or a possible rise in the cryptocurrency. Ether would have fallen above the 50-day SMA or the low of $2,190 if the downward momentum continues.

However, the largest altcoin has returned above the moving average lines. Ether is in an uptrend and if it rises above and breaks through the $2,784 resistance, it would signal the resumption of the uptrend. The altcoin will face the barrier at $2,850 but will rally to the high of $3,000.

In the meantime, the cryptocurrency is hovering between the 21-day SMA support and below the resistance at $2,800. At the time of writing, Ether is trading at $2,619.
