Ethereum Price Could Continue To Rise
In the past three sessions, there were mostly bullish moves in Ethereum above the $180 level against the US Dollar. ETH price formed a strong support base above $180 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
As a result, there was a strong increase above the $185 resistance area. Moreover, there was a break above a major contracting triangle with resistance near $182 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

It opened the doors for a break above the $190 resistance area. Finally, the price traded to a new 2020 high at $195 and it is currently consolidating gains. Ethereum traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent surge from the $179 low to $195 high.
On the downside, there are many supports, starting with the $188 and $187 levels. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent surge from the $179 low to $195 high is also near the $187 level.
If there is a clear break below the $187 support, the price could start an extended downside correction towards the $185 support. The next major support and buy zone is near the $182 level and the 100 hourly SMA. Any further losses may perhaps lead the price towards the $178 support area.
Bullish Targets for ETH
On the upside, an initial hurdle for Ethereum is near then $195 level. A successful close above the $195 resistance might set the pace for a break above the $200 barrier.
In the mentioned case, there are high chances of a sustained upward move towards the $220 level in the coming sessions. An intermediate resistance is seen near the $212 level.
