On the upside, the bulls need to push the price above the $190 and $192 resistance levels. If they succeed, Ether might continue to recover above the $195 resistance.
The next major resistance is near the $198 and $200 levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $214 swing high to $180 low is also near the $198 level to act as a resistance. Therefore, a clear break above $198 and $200 could lead the price towards $210.
