Ethereum Price Remains Steady
After setting a new all-time high near $1,697, Ethereum started a short-term downside correction. ETH traded below the $1,650 and $1,620 support levels. There was also a spike below the $1,600 level, but the price recovered quickly.
Ether is now trading well above $1,600 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The recent swing low was formed near $1,589 before the price climbed above $1,620.
There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,672 high to $1,589 low. It seems like there is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $1,655 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

The triangle resistance is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,672 high to $1,589 low. If there is a close above the triangle resistance at $1,655 and $1,660, ether price might start a fresh increase.
In the stated case, it could even surpass the $1,700 level in the near term. The next major resistance for the bulls above $1,700 might be $1,735 (a key fib extension level).
Are you holding ETH? There’s a brand new real-time notification system which alerts you of incoming/outgoing transactions from any address or token contract, offered by Ethplorer. The company’s Watching Service automatically monitors addresses you select and sends you a real-time notification whenever that address performs a transaction. You can choose to monitor incoming transactions, outgoing transactions, or both. Also, the Watching Service allows you to track all transactions at a specific address or even a smart contract. The depth of measurement makes this tool unique, since no other service allows you to do something similar
Dips Supported in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,655 resistance level and the triangle upper trend line, it could correct further lower. On the downside, an initial support is near the triangle lower trend line at $1,585.
A downside break below the triangle support could push the price towards the $1,550 support zone. Any more losses is likely to lead the price towards the $1,500 support region in the coming sessions.
