Ethereum Price Facing Hurdles
Yesterday, there was a decent rise in Ethereum above the $130 resistance area against the US Dollar. ETH price gained pace above the $132 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
However, the price struggled to gain strength above the main $135 resistance area. The bulls made more than two attempts to clear the $135 barrier, but they failed. A swing high is formed near $135.40 and the price is currently correcting lower.
There was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support near $133 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum even traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $124 low to $135 high.

The price is currently finding bids near the $132 level and the 100 hourly SMA. If there are more downsides, the price could test the $130 support level.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $124 low to $135 high is also near the $130 zone to act as a strong support. Any further losses may perhaps start a substantial decline towards $124.
Chances of a Fresh Rally
If Ethereum remains well bid above the $130 support area, it could make another attempt to clear the key $135 resistance zone.
A successful close above the $135 resistance and a follow through later is likely to spark a solid rally in the coming sessions. The next key resistance is near the $142 level, above which the bulls are likely to aim a test of the $150 level.
