Ethereum is threatening to break through multi-week resistance as the second-largest cryptocurrency turns higher. ETH has lagged Bitcoin over the last few days, pushing the ETH/BTC spread back down to a multi-week low of 600, but this underperformance is now starting to turn, leaving Ethereum close to a technical resistance level.

The cryptocurrency market as a whole is also growing and is not too far off its record high printed in mid-May this year. The recent move has been lead by Bitcoin but a raft of other coins are now moving higher, with strong, single-digit percentage gains seen today.

While Ethereum may still lag Bitcoin over the last seven days, the latest move higher sees multi-week resistance now under threat. Horizontal resistance at $3,675 has held the last two attempts but it looks increasingly likely that it will third time lucky for the bulls. The bullish scenario is helped by the recent upturn in all three simple moving averages, with the 20-day sma just about to finish off a bullish set-up, while Ethereum’s price action over the last two weeks has set up a bullish flag pattern, another driver of higher prices. A break and open above $3,675 will set-up $4,028 as the next target, with little resistance seen between these two levels, before $4,379 comes into play.

    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
