Ethereum Price is Gaining Traction
Ethereum price seems to be forming a decent support base above the $175 and $180 levels against the US Dollar. ETH price is currently rising (similar to bitcoin) and it recently surpassed the $185 and $188 resistance levels.
There was a clear break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last major downward move from the $214 high to $176 low. More importantly, there was a break above a key declining channel with resistance near $188 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The pair is now approaching the $192 resistance and the 100 hourly SMA. An immediate hurdle above the 100 hourly SMA is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major downward move from the $214 high to $176 low at $195.
If Ethereum clears the $195 resistance, it is likely to continue higher towards the $200 handle. Any further gains could lead the price towards the $205 resistance level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $207 on the same chart.
Once Ether settles above the $200 and $205 resistance levels, there are chances of a strong and sustained upward move towards the $220 resistance zone.
Bearish Rejection
If Ethereum fails to gain momentum above the $195 resistance or the $200 barrier, it could face a fresh round of selling. An initial support is near the $188 level.
The first major support is near the $180 level, below which the price could revisit the main $176 and $175 support levels. Any further losses may lead the price towards the $165 level in the coming days.
