Ethereum Price Resistance
There were a few moves in ETH price as it dipped below the $90 level against the US Dollar. We can say that the price started a correction from the $100 swing high towards the $85.00 level. A low was formed near $84.60 from where a recovery was started. The price moved higher, and traded above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $100.60 high to $84.60 low. There was a connecting bullish trend line at $85, which prevented further losses and pushed the price higher.
The price is now back above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $100.60 high to $84.60 low. It may continue to trade higher. However, there is a major connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $96.80 formed on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. It may act as a hurdle and prevent gains above $96.
The same trend line also coincides with the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $100.60 high to $84.60 low. So, there can be a minor dip in ETH price before it makes another upside move above $96.
