Ethereum Price Recovery
Ethereum price ETH climbed higher against the US Dollar, and gained by more than $3. There was a nice upside move in ETH/USD, taking it above the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price even managed to break yesterday’s highlighted bearish trend line on the hourly chart (data feed via Kraken) of ETH/USD.
All in all, there were a lot of bullish signs, but is it the right time to jump in? Well, I think the price is not yet stable. This can be only a recovery, and it will be very hard to say that the price may move further higher. Currently, the price trading near the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $21.10 high to $10.13, which is acting as a resistance area.
There was a good reaction from the ETH bears around the stated fib level. So, there is a chance of a minor dip from the current levels. On the downside, the 100 hourly simple moving average can be seen as a support area, and may act as a barrier for sellers.
Hourly MACD – The MACD is now in the bullish area, calling for more gains in ETH in the short term.
Hourly RSI – The RSI around the overbought levels, suggesting a minor correction is possible.
Major Support Level – $10.15
Major Resistance Level – $12.40
