After more than a month of consolidatory ranging, Ethereum (ETH) price remains steadfast in a tightly fought range.
Currently trading at $1,858 (a 24 hour change of -0.79%), Ether appears to have once again been rejected by a tough ceiling of resistance at $1,925.
Now in a minor -3.60% retracement move, markets are on edge as ETH heads for a retest of support at the tricky MA20.

A breakthrough moment last week could be the last chance at a return to technical rally structure for Ether on the short-time frame (STF), and a strong bounce from support here could supercharge price action.

In contrast, the MACD provides a lot of hope with an incredibly bullish 8.78 reflecting the newfound support above the MA20.

This accumulation has been characterised by a huge outflow on May 26, which saw a whopping 451,806 ETH
