Ethereum Price Analysis
Yesterday, we saw a nice upward move above the $114 and $115 resistances in ETH price against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair even spiked above the $118 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, it failed to break the $120 resistance area. There was also no close above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last downside move from the $125 high to $111 swing low. The price started a fresh decline and traded below the $118 level and the 100 hourly SMA.
Moreover, there was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $111 low to $120 swing high. At the outset, there is a short term declining channel formed with resistance near $118 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The channel support is at $114, where buyers are likely to emerge. Above $114, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $111 low to $120 swing high is a decent support. Below $114, the price could dip towards the $112 and $111 levels.
Looking at the chart, ETH price is facing a major resistance near the channel, $118, and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A successful break and close above $120 is needed for more gains towards $124 and $127. If buyers fail, the price may continue to move down towards $112.
