  • There were sharp losses noted in bitcoin, ripple, bitcoin cash and a few other major altcoins.

Ethereum price is back in a short term bearish zone versus the US Dollar and bitcoin. ETH price could recover above $300, but it is likely to face resistance near $310 or $320.

Ethereum Price Analysis

In the past few sessions, there was a sharp increase in selling on Ethereum and bitcoin against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair topped near the $364 level and declined sharply below $350. It broke the main support near the $320 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The decline was such that there was a close below the $320 and $318 pivot levels.

Moreover, this week’s followed key bullish trend line was breached with support near $318 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading well below the $310 level and it recently declined towards the $275 level. A swing low was formed near $274 and the price is currently correcting higher. It recovered above $290 plus the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $314 high to $274 swing low.

However, Ether is facing a strong resistance near the $300 level. Moreover, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $314 high to $274 swing low is acting as a hurdle. More importantly, there is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $300 on the same chart.

It seems like the price may correct higher above $300 in the short term. However, the bulls are likely to face a strong resistance near the $310 and $315 levels. The main resistance is now near $318 and the 100 hourly SMA. A successful close above $320 is needed for the bulls to gain traction.
