Ethereum Price Analysis
Recently, there was a downside break in Ethereum below the 0 support against the US Dollar. Moreover, ETH price settled below the 8 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Later, it found support near the 2 level and started an upside correction. There was a break above the 5 resistance area. However, the upward move was capped by the 7-8 resistance area.
Additionally, the price failed to stay above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last key decline from the 6 high to 2 low. At the outset, the price is consolidating above the 2 support and facing many hurdles near 6.
More importantly, there is a new connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near 6 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Above the trend line resistance, the 100 hourly simple moving average is near the 8 level to act as a resistance.
Besides, the main resistance is near the 0 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the last key decline from the 6 high to 2 low. Therefore, Ethereum price must break the 8 and 0 resistance levels to start a decent recovery.
Conversely, the price could struggle to recover and continue lower below 2. If there is a downside break below the 2 support, the price is likely to accelerate lower towards the 6 and 4 support levels.
The main support is near the 0 area, where the bulls are likely to take a stand. Any further losses may perhaps push the price towards the 4 level.
Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is showing a lot of bearish signs below the 8 and 0 resistance levels. Therefore, there remains a risk of more downsides below the 2 support area. Only a close above 0 might negate the bearish view and start a decent recovery in the near term.
