Ethereum Price Resistance
There was no upside break in ETH price above the 0 resistance level against the US Dollar. It resulted in a downside reaction and the price declined sharply below 0. It even moved below the 0 support and settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average. There are many bearish signs visible on the charts below the 0 level. The recent low formed was 8 from where the price started an upside correction.
During the downside move, there was a break below a major bullish trend line with support at 5 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair traded above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 8 high to 8 low. However, the upside move seems to be limited as the price is facing sellers near 5. On the upside, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 8 high to 8 low is likely to act as a resistance. Moreover, there is also a bearish trend line on the same chart with resistance at 0.
Therefore, it seems like the price may struggle to correct further above 0-900. On the downside, the 0-850 area is a major support in the short term.
