Ethereum Price Analysis
This past week, we saw a nasty decline in Ethereum price below the $200 and $185 supports against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair even settled below the $185 support and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). Moreover, there was a break below the $165 support and the price traded to a new monthly low at $152. Recently, there was an upside correction initiated above the $155 and $165 levels.
The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $225 high to $152 low. Additionally, the price broke the $175 resistance and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). At the moment, the price is testing an important resistance area near the $185 level. More importantly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $225 high to $152 low is at $188.
There is also a crucial bearish trend line forming with resistance near $188 on the 4-hours chart. Therefore, the price is likely to face a strong resistance near the $185 and $188 levels. If there is a successful close above the trend line and $188, the price could recover further towards the $198 and $200 resistance levels. Moreover, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $225 high to $152 low is at $197.
Conversely, the price could restart its decline if it fails to climb above $185 or $188. An initial support is near the $175 level. If the price fails to hold the $175 support, it could decline towards the $165 support.
Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is facing a strong resistance near the $185 and $188 levels. There are chances of an upside break, but it won’t be easy for the bulls to gain strength above $185.
