Ethereum Price Analysis
Yesterday, we saw a nice 10% rally in Ethereum above the $175 resistance against the US Dollar. ETH price even broke the $180 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the main $185 resistance acted as a hurdle and prevented more gains. A high was formed near $185 and the price started a downside correction. It broke the $180 level to start the correction.
Moreover, there was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $168 swing low to $185 high. However, the price stayed above the $178 support and the 100 hourly SMA. Additionally, there is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support near $178 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The next support is near the $176 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $168 swing low to $185 high.ETH Technical Indicators
