The first key support is near the $595 level. There is also a key rising channel forming with support near $595 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The channel support is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $572 swing low to $618 high.
On the upside, ether is facing hurdles near the $618 and $620 levels. A clear break above the recent high and $620 might spark a larger upward move. The next stop for the bulls could be $635 or even $642 in the near term.
Dips Supported in ETH?
If ethereum fails to clear the $618 and $620 resistance levels, there could be a minor downside correction. The channel support at $595 holds the key.
A downside break below the $600 level and the channel support could lead the price towards the $580 support zone. Any further losses might call for a test of the $570 level or the 100 hourly simple moving average.
