Ethereum Price Analysis
There were additional losses witness in Ethereum below the $130 support area against the US Dollar. It seems like all bearish targets as discussed in the weekly forecast for ETH price were achieved such as $132 and $125.
Moreover, the price gained bearish momentum below the $125 support and settled well below the 100 hourly simple moving average. It opened the doors for more losses and the price traded towards the key $122 and $120 support levels.
A new monthly low was formed near $120 and the price is currently correcting higher. Ethereum already surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $132 high to $120 low.
However, the price is now approaching the $125-$126 resistance area. Besides, there is a short term bearish trend line forming with resistance near $126 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $132 high to $120 low. Therefore, the price must surpass the $125-$126 resistance zone to recover further.
The next major resistance could be near the $130 level (the recent breakdown support). If there are any additional gains, the bulls are likely to target the $135 resistance area and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Conversely, the bulls might struggle to clear the $125-$126 resistance area. In the mentioned case, there is a risk of a fresh decline below the $120 support area in the near term.

Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is holding the $120 support and correcting higher. Having said that, the bears are still in control unless the bulls make an effort to push the price back above $126 and $130 to start a recovery.
