Ethereum Price Analysis

During the past two sessions, there was a nice upside move above the $220 level in ETH price against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair gained traction and moved above the $222 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Moreover, there was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major downside from the $248 high to $204 low.

It opened the doors for more gains and the price traded above $225. During the upside, there was a break above a crucial bearish trend line with resistance at $227 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair spiked above the $230 level, but it failed to hold gains. It seems like the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last major downside from the $248 high to $204 low acted as a strong resistance.

Above $230 and $232, the price may perhaps rise towards the $242 and $245 levels.
