After forming a decent support base, Ethereum price rebounded nicely and traded above the $240 and $250 resistances against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair even cleared the $260 level and settled well above the 100 hourly simple moving average. A swing high was formed near $265 and recently the price started a downside correction. It declined below the $260 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent leg from the $232 low to $265 high.
It even traded below $255 and it is currently tested the $248-250 support area. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent leg from the $232 low to $265 high is also acting as a support. To the downside, there is a strong support forming near the $240 level. Besides, there is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $240 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line coincides with the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent leg from the $232 low to $265 high. Therefore, as long as the price is above the $240 support, it is likely to bounce back.
