Ethereum Price is Forming A Key Breakout

There was also a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downside reaction from the $625 swing high to $561 swing low.

The price is now approaching a major resistance area near $600. There is also a major contracting triangle forming with resistance near $602 on the 4-hours chart of ETH/USD.
The triangle resistance is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downside reaction from the $625 swing high to $561 swing low. A successful break above the triangle resistance and $605 is must to start a strong increase. The next major resistance is at $620, above which the price could break the $636 yearly high.
Fresh Decline in Ether (ETH)?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $600 and $605 resistance levels, there is a risk of a bearish reaction. An initial support is near the $592 level.
The first major support zone sits near the $590 level and the triangle lower trend line. A downside break below the triangle support might lead the price towards the $565 support and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
