Ethereum’s Ether Could Rally Further
This past week, bitcoin and ethereum saw a fresh increase above $1,150 and $35,000 respectively against the US Dollar. ETH price even surpassed the $1,200 resistance zone and settled well above the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
The upward move was such that there was a break above a major contracting triangle with resistance near $1,215 on the 4-hours chart of ETH/USD. Ether price traded as high as $1,292 before correcting lower.
There was a break below the $1,240 level. The price traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $1,066 swing low to $1,292 high. However, the broken triangle resistance is acting as a strong support near the $1,200 zone.

The next major support is near the $1,180 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $1,066 swing low to $1,292 high.
On the upside, the price is facing a short-term resistance near the $1,280 level. A clear break above the $1,280 and $1,300 resistance levels could open the doors for a larger increase. In the stated case, ether price might even surpass $1,400 and trade to a new all-time high in the near term.
