Ethereum markets were very quiet during the session on Monday, as crypto currencies did very little in general. Ethereum markets have been grinding sideways during most of the weekend, and as traders came back to work, more of the same continued.

ETH/USD

Ethereum markets went sideways during most of the session on Monday, trading between $670 on the bottom, and $700 on the top. If we can break above the $710 level, that would be a sign that the buyers have taken over again, and we could go higher from there. I do believe the dips will probably be bought, but we are currently looking for some type of momentum. $40 level underneath should be support, and as we continue to grind higher, I think that the market will eventually get the necessary momentum to break out. The question is when it happens?

ETH/EUR

Looking at Ethereum against the Euro, you can see that we are clearly pressing up against the €580 level, an area that has been resistance in the past. A break above that level could confirm an ascending triangle, or at the very least the getting of a longer-term uptrend channel, both of which are very bullish signs. The EUR/USD pair has been breaking down a bit during the day, so it’s no surprise that Ethereum would do well against the Euro, as it struggles in the Forex markets. If we were to break below the €550 level, that would be a very negative sign, perhaps unwinding the pair down to the €500 level next. Longer-term though, I believe that value hunters continue to come in and pick up dips as they offer a nice intrigue, and that we will break above the €600 level relatively soon, perhaps in the next couple of days.
