Ethereum Price Analysis
In the past two sessions, there was a strong recovery in bitcoin and Ethereum against the US Dollar. Earlier, the ETH/USD pair declined to a new monthly low at $271 before it started a strong upward move. The bulls took control after the price broke the $275 and $280 resistance levels. Moreover, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $323 high to $271 low.
Besides, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $286 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair even settled above the $290 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It is now trading near the key $298-300 resistance zone, which is acting as a barrier. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $323 high to $271 low is protecting gains.
If there is a successful break above the $300 barrier, the price could recover further. An immediate resistance is near the $310 level. The 76% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $323 high to $271 low near $311 might also act as a resistance. If the price continues higher, it could soon revisit the last swing high near the $323 level.
On the downside, the recent resistances near the $292 and $290 levels may perhaps act as a support. The next major support is near the $282 level, below which the price could move back in a bearish zone.
Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is clearly recovering nicely above the $290 resistance level. However, a successful close above the $300 and $302 levels is needed for more gains. Once the price settles above $300, it will mostly likely continue to rise towards the $310 and $325 levels in the near term.
