The decline was such that the price traded close to the 0 level. A swing low was formed near 1 before the price started an upside correction. It recovered above the 4 and 5 resistances.
Additionally, this week’s followed major bearish trend line was breached with resistance near 4 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 8 high to 1 low. Finally, the price spiked above the 8 resistance area. However, the upward move is facing hurdle near the 0 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Moreover, the price failed to test the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 8 high to 1 low. Ethereum retreated from highs and it is currently trading below 8. It seems like the 0 area and the 100 hourly SMA are crucial barriers. Therefore, a successful close above 0 could push the bulls to continue higher in the near term.
If not, there is a risk of another decline below the 5 level. The main support is near the 2 and 0 levels. If there are more downsides, the price is likely to accelerate its decline below the 5 level. The next key support is near the 0 level.
