This is a pattern that many savvy crypto traders have come to accept as fact when analyzing their favorite charts for weekend trading. In the case of Ethereum (ETH), the trade volume has decreased a bit but there is a sense of optimism ahead as shall be elaborated below.<\/p>\n<h2>Golden Cross on the Daily ETH\/USDT<\/h2>\n<p>When we look at the 1-Day ETH\/USDT chart courtesy of Tradingview.com, we realize that a Golden Cross has formed. This happens when the 50-day (white) Moving Average crosses the 200-day (green) Moving Average from the downside. The screenshot below gives a better visual cue of the situation on the ETH\/USDT chart.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_561438\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-561438\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ETH-Golden-Cross-May-16th.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-561438 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ETH-Golden-Cross-May-16th-1024x492.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ETH-Golden-Cross-May-16th-1024x492.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ETH-Golden-Cross-May-16th-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ETH-Golden-Cross-May-16th-770x370.jpg 770w, https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ETH-Golden-Cross-May-16th-240x115.jpg 240w, https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ETH-Golden-Cross-May-16th-717x345.jpg 717w, https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ETH-Golden-Cross-May-16th.jpg 1057w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-561438\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1 Day ETH\/USDT chart courtesy of Tradingview.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Further analyzing the chart, we observe the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The 100 Day moving average (yellow) is providing adequate support for ETH at around $192.<\/li>\n<li>This value is close to the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level of $195 also providing some support.<\/li>\n<li>As earlier noted <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/ethereums-200-daily-ma-provides-crucial-support-ahead-of-eth2-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in a previous analysis<\/a>, the 200-day moving average (green) is a crucial level to watch for Ethereum ahead of ETH2.0.<\/li>\n<li>The 200-day moving average provides support at around $174.<\/li>\n<li>Other potential zones of support are at $158 and $141.<\/li>\n<li>Trade volume is in the green with the MACD exhibiting potential for sideways movement.<\/li>\n<li>Resistances are at $206, $211, $215, $219 and $228.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>$228 Resistance for Ethereum<\/h2>\n<p>The last-mentioned resistance zone of $228 is the area proving to be difficult for Ethereum ahead of the ETH2.0 launch in July.
