Ethereum Price Could Revisit $250

A low is formed near $229 and the price is currently rising. There was a break above the $235 level and a connecting bearish trend line on the hourly of ETH/USD. The price spiked above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $250 high to $229 low.
