Besides, there was a break above this week’s key bearish trend line with resistance near $144 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair is now trading near the $145 resistance and struggling to clear the 100 hourly simple moving average.
The recent high is near $145 and the pair is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent recovery from the $139 low to $145 high. If there are additional losses, Ethereum price might correct towards the $142 support area.
