Etheruem reached as high as $475 last Friday, where it hit the resistance at the September high-day close. From there, it headed lower over the weekend, which was largely due to Bitcoin dropping back beneath the $16,000 level and some divergence playing out that we highlighted in the last analysis.
As a result, Ethereum fell as low as $439 (August 2018 high) yesterday. The coin went on to close above the $445 support. It has since rebounded slightly to trade at $456 today.
