Ethereum Price Analysis
Yesterday, we saw a nice upward move in bitcoin and Ethereum price above $11,500 and $220 respectively against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair extended gains above the $230 resistance and traded to a new weekly high. Moreover, there was a break above the $235 level and a swing high was formed near $237. Recently, the price started a downside correction below $235, but it remains well above the 100 hourly simple moving average.
It traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $216 low to $237 high. Moreover, there was a break below the $230 level. However, the $227 level is currently holding the decline. It represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $216 low to $237 high. More importantly, there are two bullish trend lines forming with support near $226 and $222 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
If there is a downside break below the first trend line, the price could revisit the main $224 and $225 support levels. The 100 hourly SMA is also near the $224 support to act as a strong buy zone. Therefore, dips towards the $224 level remains well supported. Only a downside break below the second trend line and $220 might start a fresh bearish wave.
On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $232 level. A successful close above the $232 level might start a decent upward move in the coming sessions. The next key resistances are near $238 and $240.
Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is clearly correcting gains from the $237 swing high. However, the price is likely to find a strong buying interest near the $224 and $225 support levels. On the upside, the bulls may target the $250 level in the coming days.
