Ethereum Price Gaining Bearish Momentum
After struggling to stay above the $135 zone, Ethereum started a fresh decline against the US Dollar. ETH price gained bearish momentum and broke the $130 support level.
There was a close below the $128 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price tested the $124-$125 support area and a low is formed near $124.
Ethereum is currently consolidating losses and trading above the $126 level. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $133 high to $124 low. On the upside, there are many hurdles forming near the $128 level.
More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $128 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Above the trend line, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $133 high to $124 low is also near the $128 zone.
Therefore, the bulls are likely to face a strong selling interest near the $128 zone. The main hurdle is now near $130, above which the price could recover towards the $135 zone.
More Losses

The next key support is near the $120 zone, where the bulls are likely to emerge. Any further losses could lead the price towards the $115 level in the coming sessions.
