Ethereum, the leading altcoin, experienced weeks of pessimism amid weakened broad market sentiments that had it losing the $1,000 mark. Nonetheless, it reclaimed the mark and surged higher within the past 24 hours. ETH gained more than 9%, trading at $1,144. Nevertheless, ETH stayed 22% down within the past seven days.
The altcoin even dropped beneath $900 before buying momentum registered gradual recoveries. Ether saw upswings on its price chart. It remains unclear whether ETH will maintain elevated price actions as the technical picture remains somewhat dicey.
Bears remain in control of the marketplace, and falling beneath $1,000 will see it dropping into the $700 – $900 trading zone. Such a move might attract buyers again to avoid more declines. Meanwhile, the altcoin has retained bearish tendencies for more than ten weeks.

Technical Analysis
Meanwhile, buying momentum improved in the marketplace as Ether noted upticks. Nevertheless, the 4hr chart reflected a buying pressure downtick, indicating a further price drop. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) stood near 50, following a downtick.
The RSI remained positive, meaning buying momentum outshined selling strength. Meanwhile, buying strength resurgence propelled ETH past the 20 Simple Moving Average. Prices beyond the 20SMA mean buyers control the price action.

Persistent buyer actions might push ETH to the nearest resistance level. Also, Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) displayed recoveries on the chart. It stayed at the half-level, showing equal capital outflows and inflows for Ether.
