Ethereum has resumed its upward trajectory in recent days. This happened after the bears failed to push the price below the support level of $1,420. The positivity is also highlighted by the fact that Ethereum is trading at its highest price against Bitcoin since December 2021.

The Daily Chart
At the end of August, the bears managed to retrace the July gains and pushed the price towards the 61.8% Fib level, which lies at $1,420. The important resistance to now consider lies at $1,800. Interestingly, the cryptocurrency attempted to push the price above it in early August, but it eventually fell below.
Ethereum has not touched its 200-day moving average line (in white), which is at $2112, since April. This MA is closely associated with the resistance of the descending line (in red). If the price manages to push past $1,800 before the Merge, it would become more probable for the 200-day MA to be tested again.
Alternatively, if the price falls, support will be found in the range of $1280-$1350. Breaking below these levels could also catalyze a prolonged drawdown.
Key Support Levels: $1420 & $1300
Key Resistance Levels: $1800 & $2100

The ETH/BTC Chart
At the time of this writing, buyers are dominating the market, and they are attempting to close the price above 0.082 BTC (in red) on the daily chart. The last time ETH was trading this high against BTC was in December 2021.
The next resistance level is at 0.0883 BTC (in white), which was reached on December 9, 2021. Assuming the bulls can bring the price up by 6%, Ethereum will have increased to its highest level since 2018.
Ahead of the Merge event, this may represent a significant achievement for Ethereum.
Key Support Levels: 0.0.0.082 & 0.073 BTC
Key Resistance Levels: 0.088 & 0.093 BTC
