Ethereum Price Correcting Gains
After a couple of failed attempts to clear the $198-$200 resistance area, Ethereum price started a downside correction against the US Dollar. ETH price seems to be following a declining pattern from the $198 resistance.
The last swing low was near $188 and the recent high was $195. The price is currently declining and testing the $192 level. The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $188 low to $195 is currently acting as a support.
The next key support is near the $190 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $188 low to $195 is also near the $190 level to provide support.
If Ethereum fails to stay above the 100 hourly simple moving average, it could spike towards the $188 support. It seems like there is a key declining channel or a bullish flag forming with resistance near $195 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Therefore, there are chances of a downside thrust towards the $188 support or the $185 pivot zone in the short term. If Ether fails to stay above the $185 support, there is a risk of a larger downside correction.
The next major support below $185 is near the $175 level, where the bulls are likely to take a strong stand in the coming sessions.
Uptrend Intact?
Ethereum is still following a nice uptrend unless it settles below the $185 support. On the upside, the bulls need to clear the $195 resistance level.
The main hurdle is near the $198 and $200 levels, above which the price could rally towards the $212 and $215 levels. Any further gains may perhaps call for a test of $225.
