Ethereum Price Analysis

The ETH/USD pair jumped more than 25% in the past few sessions. Bulls took control, resulting in a sharp upward move above the $160 and $165 resistance levels. The price even rallied above the $170 resistance and settled well above the 100 hourly simple moving average.
A new yearly high was formed near $173 and the price is still trading with a bullish angle. An initial support is near the $170 level. It represents the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $159 swing low to $173 swing high. There is also a crucial bullish trend line formed with support at $165 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $159 swing low to $173 swing high.
The current price action is very positive, suggesting more gains above the $172 and $173 levels. Buyers could even target the $180 resistance, which is a strong barrier. The next key resistance is near the $185 level, above which the final target in the current wave could be $200. The overall rally is gathering momentum above $165 and sellers are likely to struggle in the coming sessions.
Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is placed in a strong uptrend above the $160 and $165 pivot levels. The price is already up more than 25%, with Ethereum supporters in full action. Therefore, dips towards the $165 and $160 levels are likely to find a solid buying interest. On the upside, a break above the $180 level could open the doors for more gains towards $200.
