Ethereum is down more than 5% as it broke the $240 support against the US Dollar. ETH price found support near $220 and it is currently correcting higher towards key hurdles.

  • Ethereum failed to continue above $250 and it started a major decline.
  • The price dived below $240 and it even spiked below the $230 support zone.
  • There was a break below a major bullish trend line with support near $240 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could resume its decline if it fails to recover above the $240 pivot level.

Ethereum Price Turns Red

This week, Ethereum price followed a bullish path above the $220 pivot level. ETH price broke many key hurdles near the $240 and $250 levels. It even spiked above $250 resistance, but struggled to continue higher.

It tested the $220 support zone and a low is formed near $218. Ethereum is currently recovering nicely above the $230 level. It surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $253 high to $218 low.

However, there is a major hurdle forming near the $240 level. It coincides with the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $253 high to $218 low. A successful break above the $240 resistance is needed for a fresh increase. The main resistance on the upside is still near the $250 and $255 levels.

Uptrend Support for ETH

The first major support for Ethereum is near the $230 level. The main uptrend support is near the $220 level, which acted as a strong resistance in the past few days.
