Ethereum Prediction for Dec 15: ETH is Back Above 20-Day SMA, Where Next?

ETH3,72%

Ethereum trades back above its twenty-day average, showing improving short-term momentum as buyers defend support and eye higher resistance.

The second-largest crypto’s price is edging to $3,144.21 amid a 1.2% 24-hour dip. However, mixed signals abound: short-term gains like the slight 0.5% hourly uptick and 0.2% weekly rise align with a stark 10.8% 14-day surge, and a 0.3% monthly pump

Ethereum’s daily trading range has shown moderate volatility, fluctuating between a low of $3,052.44 and a high of $3,144.35 over the past 24 hours. ETH is trading at the higher end of this range, further proof of the positive momentum.

Notably, this blend of upward heritage ignites curiosity, but what technical indicators could tip the scales in the days ahead?

Where’s Ethereum Headed?

From the technical charts, the price has moved back above the 20-day simple moving average placed at $3,085, indicating short-term bullish momentum, though the broader trend remains neutral. The Bollinger Bands show ETH rebounding from the lower band near $2,850 around December 1, after which it surged to hit $3,444.

Ethereum 1-Day Price ChartEthereum 1 Day Price ChartThe recent rebound at the middle band suggests that selling pressure has eased, while price is now drifting toward the upper band range. Meanwhile, the RSI indicator is hovering around 50, confirming neutral momentum with improving conditions but no overbought signals yet.

A key support lies at $2,850, followed by stronger demand at $2,629, which aligns with the lower Bollinger Band swing lows. On the upside, resistance is located at $3,323, where the upper Bollinger Band and prior supply converge, with a more significant barrier just below $3,450. A sustained break above the near-term resistance would strengthen the bullish case.

ETH is Technically Constructive

Ethereum PredictionEthereum PredictionAs long as this support area continues to hold, he believes Ethereum has room to rally back toward the $3,300–$3,400 resistance range.

However, Ted also warns that the bullish outlook would weaken if support fails. He adds that losing the $3,000 level could trigger a sharp sell-off, with ETH likely to dump quickly below $2,800, where the next major demand zone sits.
