Volatility Analysis

In this period, volatility has remained high, with HVI opening at 15.12 (extremely high) and then rising to 20.17 (extremely high). HVI then oscillated between 20.17 and the periods low of 13.37 (high) for the duration of ETH/USDT’s rally to the $600. At the time of writing, the HVI has remained high, currently at 20.25.

Price prediction

In this trading period, trading volume carried ETH/USDT’s rally to $600, increasing consistently throughout the entire period. Acc/Distr also showed that momentum increases as ETH/USDT closed in on $600.

However, OBV saw no positive trend during the same period, suggesting the existence of a substantial amount of selling pressure during this rally. This is also borne out by the fact that volatility remained in the extremely high zone for the duration of this period.

Given those facts, ETH/USDT is in need of either consolidation or a brief correction if it is to resume a strong rally.
