Ethereum Price Could Break $150
This past week, there were bullish moves in Ethereum above $132 against the US Dollar. ETH rallied towards the $135 level, later corrected lower, and now finally trading higher with a positive bias above the $135 level.
A new yearly high was formed near $148 and the price started a downside correction. There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $135 low to $148 high.
However, the decline was protected by the $140 area and the price is now well above the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $135 low to $148 high is acting as a strong support.
More importantly, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $140 on the 4-hours chart of ETH/USD. If there is a downside break below the trend line below $138, there is a risk of a strong decline.
On the upside, there are key hurdles near the $145 and $148 levels. A clear break above the $148 level could set the pace for a bullish break above the $150 level in the coming sessions.
What’s Bearish Case for Ethereum?
The main support on the downside is near the $137 level and the 100 SMA. If there is a downside break below the $137 and $135 levels, there is a risk of a clear bearish break.
Therefore, a successful break and close below the $135 level might set the pace for a fresh decline. The next key support is near $130, below which it may perhaps open the doors for a push towards the $125 level.
The above chart indicates that Ethereum price is showing a lot of positive signs above $135 and it likely to surge above the $150 level.
