The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $265 swing low to $395 high is also near the $380 level to provide support. More importantly, there is a key connecting bullish trend line forming with support near $372 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
On the upside, the $388 level is a short-term resistance. The first major resistance is near the $395 level. The main hurdle for a larger breakout is near $400, above which the price may even aim a new yearly high.
