Price analysis of Ethereum
Recently, the ETH price rose above the resistance of $ 125 and made an attempt to break $ 128 against the US dollar. However, the ETH / USD pair failed to gain strength beyond the resistance of $ 128 and subsequently refused. It has moved below support levels $ 125 and $ 123. More importantly, there was a break below the $ 121 level and the simple 100-hour moving average. However, support levels $ 116 and $ 117 once again acted as solid support and prevented further declines.
A minimum was formed close to $ 117.27 and the price then recovered. It rose above the Fib retracement level of 23.6% from the last drop from $ 128 up to $ 117 at the bottom. On the upside, there are many barriers to buyers, starting at the $ 123 level and the simple 100-hour moving average. Also, it coincides with the 50% fiber retracement level of the last drop from $ 128 up to $ 117 down. In addition, yesterday's key bearish trend line is active with resistance to $ 126 on the hourly chart of Eth / USD. An intermediate resistance is close to the $ 125 level and the Fib retracement level of 61.8% of the last drop.
Looking at the chart, the ETH price is likely to have difficulty erasing resistance levels of $ 123, $ 125 and $ 128. That said, as long as the price exceeds $ 116, it could start a steady rise in the short term.
