Ethereum Price Resistance
ETH price faced a lot of pressure yesterday against the US Dollar after Donald Trump won the US President Seat. There was a decline below the $10.50 support area, taking the price back towards the $10.10 level. The price is currently correcting higher, but it won’t be easy for it to recover. There is a monster resistance formed near $10.60-65, which may prevent any upside move in ETH.
There are many reasons why the highlighted resistance area is important. First, there are a few bearish trend lines formed on the hourly chart (data feed via SimpleFX) of ETH/USD aligned. Second, the 100 hourly simple moving average is positioned just above it. Lastly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the decline from the $11.09 high to $10.107 low is also around the same area.
So, it is quite clear that the $10.60-65 represents a major resistance zone. If the price moves higher, it could face sellers. One may even consider selling near the highlighted resistance area with a tight stop. However, one must not forget that the ETH may not remain low for this long. In time it may get catalyst for a move higher.
