Ethereum Price Could Extend Its Decline
Yesterday, we saw a decent increase in Ethereum above the $270 resistance level against the US Dollar. ETH price even climbed above the $275 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
However, it failed to extend gains above the $278 and $280 levels. As a result, there was a fresh decline below the $275 and $270 levels. During the decline, there was a break below a crucial ascending channel with support near $268 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
It opened the doors for more losses below the $265 level the 100 hourly simple moving average. Finally, Ethereum price traded close to the $255 support area and it is currently correcting higher.
There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $278 high to $256 low. On the upside, there are many key hurdles seen near the $266 and $268 levels.
Besides, there is a key descending channel forming with resistance near $266 on the same chart. Therefore, Ethereum could extend its decline below the $260 level in the near term. It may perhaps spike towards the $255 and $252 support levels before the bulls appear again.
Fresh Increase?
On the downside, there are a few key supports near the $255 and $252 levels. The next key support is near the $245 level, where the bulls are likely to take a strong stand.
Once the current correction wave is complete, Ethereum is likely to climb back above the $266 and $268 levels. The next key resistance is near the $275 level, above which the price is likely to accelerate towards the $280 and $285 levels in the coming days.
