Ethereum Price Analysis
Recently, ETH price climbed above the $125 resistance made an attempt to break $128 against the US Dollar. However, the ETH/USD pair failed to gain strength above the $128 resistance and later declined. It moved below the $125 and $123 support levels. More importantly, there was a break below the $121 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the $116 and $117 support levels once again acted as a solid support and prevented more declines.
A low was formed near $117.27 and the price later recovered. It climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $128 high to $117 low. On the upside, there are many hurdles for buyers, starting with the $123 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Besides, yesterday’s highlighted key bearish trend line is active with resistance at $126 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. An intermediate resistance is near the $125 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop.
