Ethereum Price Analysis
After a sharp decline, ETH price found support near the $122 level against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair started a solid recovery and broke the $124 and $127 resistance levels. Later, it broke the $130 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Besides, there was a break above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $135 swing high to $122 swing low. It opened the doors for more gains and the price gained pace above $130 and $132.
During the rise, yesterday’s highlighted key bearish trend line was breached with resistance at $130 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Finally, there was a break above the $134 resistance and the price revisited the key $139 resistance. Sellers emerged near $139, resulting in a minor pullback. The price declined below the $136 and $135 levels. There was a spike below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $122 low to $139 high.
However, the $134 support acted as a decent buy zone and the price started consolidating gains. The current price action suggests that there could be more losses below $134. The price could drop towards the $130 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $122 low to $139 high is also near the $130 level to act as a support. The next key support is near the $129 level (the previous resistance).
Looking at the chart, ETH price recovered nicely, but it faced a strong resistance near the $139 level. The stated level prevented gains earlier and it may continue to stop buyers near $139 and $140. As long as the price is below $139 and $140, it could decline once again in the near term.
