The price formed a new 2019 high near $363 before it started a strong downside correction.
The price declined below the $350 and $340 levels. It even spiked below the $325 support level. However, the $320 support acted as a strong buy zone. Moreover, yesterday’s highlighted major bullish trend line prevented losses with support near $320 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair is currently recovering and it recently climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $363 high to $316 swing low.
However, the $340 level is once again acting as a resistance. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $363 high to $316 swing low is acting as a resistance. The price is currently moving lower, but there are many supports near the $325 and $320 level. The main support is $320 and 100 hourly simple moving average.
