Ethereum price is showing a few positive signs above $240 against the US Dollar. ETH/USD is currently struggling to gain strength above the $248 and $252 resistance levels.

Ethereum Price Analysis

After a strong surge, Ethereum price failed to retain strength above the $250 level against the US Dollar. ETH price traded as high as $253 and later corrected lower below the $240 level.

However, the price found support near the $225 level and remained well bid above the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). In the past few days, the price recovered from $225 and climbed above the $240 level.

There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $253 high to $225 low. On the upside, the price seems to be facing a strong resistance near the $248 and $252 levels.

Ethereum is also struggling to gain pace above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $253 high to $225 low. On the downside, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $240 on the 4-hours chart.

If the price fails to stay above the trend line support, it could start a fresh decline below the $240 level. A successful close below the 55 simple moving average (4-hours) may perhaps push the price back towards the $225 support level in the near term.

Conversely, the price could start a major upward move above the $248 and $252 resistance levels. In the mentioned case, the bulls are likely to aim a test of the $265 level. Any further gains might lead the price towards the $280 resistance zone in the coming sessions.
