Ethereum Price Analysis
This past week, we saw a solid rise in Ethereum price above the $200 resistance against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair even climbed above the $210 resistance and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The upward move was such that the price traded to a new multi-week high at $225. However, the price struggled to continue higher and recently started a downside correction below the $215 level.
There was a break below the $210 support area. Moreover, the price traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last major wave from the $174 swing low to $225 high. It even traded below $205 and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). At the moment, the price is testing an important support area near $198-$200. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major wave from the $174 swing low to $225 high is near the $200 level.
There is also a crucial bullish trend line forming with support near $198 on the 4-hours chart. The main support is near the $193 level since it coincides with the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last major wave from the $174 swing low to $225 high. If there is a downside break below the $198 and $193 supports, Ethereum price could move back into a bearish zone.
Conversely, the price may perhaps bounce back from the $198 or $193 support. An immediate resistance is near the $208 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). Additionally, there is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $210 on the same chart.
Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is closing in towards a major support area near $198 and $193. As long as there is no daily close below $193, the price is likely to bounce back above $210.
