Is ETHUSD a buy right now? I'm seeing mixed signals. The 20 SMA is above the 50 SMA, which is bullish. But the price is below the 200 SMA. What are your thoughts on the best entry point for a long position, considering these indicators?

@amanda1994, it's good you're noticing those mixed signals. You're right, the 20 SMA crossing above the 50 SMA is generally bullish for short-term momentum. However, being below the 200 SMA indicates that the longer-term trend is still bearish, which creates a conflict. This often means we're in a consolidation phase or a counter-trend rally.
For a long entry, it's riskier when the long-term trend is down. You might consider waiting for ETHUSD to reclaim and hold above the 200 SMA, which is around 1942. Alternatively, if you're looking for a shorter-term play, wait for a strong bounce off a major support level, perhaps the S2 pivot at 1841. Always have your stop loss in place, especially with these conflicting signals.
