The first key support is seen near the $240 and $238 levels (the recent breakout zone). The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $227 low to $247 high is also near the $238 level.
On the upside, ether price is likely to clear the channel resistance at $244. If the bulls succeed in gaining momentum above $245, there are high chances of more gains above the $248 and $250 resistance levels. The next target for the bulls could be $255 or even $262.
Dips Supported in ETH
The $238 level is likely to act as a major support. If Ethereum fails to stay above $238, it could extend its decline towards the $234 support level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Any further losses below the $234 support zone could negate the current bullish view. In the mentioned case, it could decline back towards the $225 support.
