Ethereum Price Corrects Losses
Ethereum price traded to a new all-time high above the $4,950 level before there was a downside correction, unlike Bitcoin. ETH price started a downside correction below the $4,650 and $4,550 levels.
The price tested the $4,320 zone. A low was formed at $4,310 and the price started a fresh upward move. There was a break above $4,400 and $4,450. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,956 swing high to the $4,310 low.
Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $4,450 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading near $4,580 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,630 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,956 swing high to the $4,310 low. The next key resistance is near the $4,650 level. The first major resistance is near the $4,720 level.
A clear move above the $4,720 resistance might send the price toward the $4,840 resistance. An upside break above the $4,840 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,950 resistance zone or even $5,000 in the near term.
