Ethereum Price Analysis
After forming a support base above $144, Ethereum started a decent upward move against the US Dollar. ETH price is rising steadily and it recently climbed above the $148 resistance area.
Moreover, there was a break above the $150 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the price ran into a crucial resistance area near $152, where the bears protected further upsides.
A high is forming near $152 and the price is currently correcting lower. An immediate support is near the $149.50 area. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $146 swing low to $152 high is also near $149.
More importantly, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $148 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Therefore, Ethereum is likely to find a strong buying interest near the $149 and $148 levels.
Additionally, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $146 swing low to $152 high is near the $148 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
If there is a downside break below the $148 support, the price could continue to move down towards the main $144 support area in the near term.
