Ethereum Price Resistances
After forming a base near the 9-250 zone, ETH price started an upside correction against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair traded higher and broke the 5 and 0 resistance levels. It even moved above the 5 level and traded as high as 2. Later, buyers lost the control, resulting in a fresh decline. The price dropped below the 23.6% fib retracement level of the last wave from the 9 low to 2 high.
More importantly, it declined back below the 0 level, which is not a good sign. However, the downside move was protected by the 5 support. It represents the 50% fib retracement level of the last wave from the 9 low to 2 high. The price is currently consolidating above the 5 level and is preparing for the next move. If sellers push the price below 5, it could increase selling pressure. The next supports are 9, 5 and 2. On the upside, there is a key connecting bearish trend line in place with current resistance at 1 on the 4-hours chart of ETH/USD.
