It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $390 high to $353 low. There is also a crucial bullish trend line forming with support near $358 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. If ether stays above the trend line support, it could rise above the $370 resistance.
The first major resistance is near the $372 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $390 high to $353 low. The next major resistance is near the $375 level, above which the price is likely to rise steadily towards the $400 resistance zone.
Bearish Break in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $370 and $375 resistance levels, there is a risk of a downside break. The trend line support holds the key, followed by the $350 level.
A successful break and close below the $350 support level is likely to put a lot of pressure on the bulls, and the price might decline towards the $325 support.
