Ethereum Price Analysis
Yesterday, we saw the start of a downside correction in ETH price from the $144 swing high against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair declined below the $140 support level and traded close to the $137 level. Later, there was an upside correction, but the price failed to clear the $140-141 resistance area. The price also failed to climb above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $144 swing high to $137 swing low. As a result, there was a fresh drop and the price even broke the $137 support level.
A new weekly low was formed near the $135 level and the price is currently correcting higher. It moved above the $137 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $141 high to $135 swing low. However, there is a strong resistance formed near the $140 and $141 levels. There is also a major bearish trend line formed with resistance at $140 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
An immediate resistance is just below $140 and near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $141 high to $135 swing low. To resume the last bullish wave, the price must break the $140 resistance and the trend line. If buyers fail to push the price higher, there are chances of a fresh drop below the $135 swing low.
Looking at the chart, ETH price is currently correcting the last week’s gains from the $128 swing low. It is approaching a couple of important supports such as $135 and $136. Having said that, if it fails to climb above the $140-141 resistance area, there is a risk of a downside correction below $135.
