Ether price is up over 5% and it tested the next important resistance near the $385 zone. A high is formed near $385 and the price is currently correcting lower. It broke the $380 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $355 low to $385 high.
On the downside, the price is likely to find a strong support near the broken trend line and $370. The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $355 low to $385 high is also active near $370 along with the 100 hourly simple moving average.

If ether stays above the $370 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average, there are chances of a fresh increase. An initial resistance is near the $385 level. The first major resistance is near the $390 level.
A successful close above the $390 resistance might start a steady rise towards the $400 barrier. Any further gains could lead the price towards the $420 resistance in the near term.
Fresh Decline in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $385 and $390 resistance levels, there is a risk of a downside break. The main support is near the $370 level and the 100 hourly SMA.
A proper break below the $370 support zone could put a lot of pressure on the bulls and the price might decline towards the next major support at $355.
