It seems like there is a decisive ascending channel forming with support near $224 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The first major resistance is near the $228 level, followed by the all-important $230 level. A successful close above the $230 resistance could trigger a fresh rally in ether above the $232 and $235 levels.
Downside Reaction in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to stay above the $224 level and the channel support, it could retest the $222 support level. Any further losses may perhaps put a lot of pressure on ether bulls.
A bearish break below the $222 and $220 support levels may perhaps clear the path for a strong decline towards the $215 level and then to $205 in the near term.
