Ethereum Price Technical Analysis – ETH/USD Remains Range Bound

Key Highlights

Ethereum price did not move much against the US Dollar and Bitcoin, and ETH/USD is currently forming a range with resistance near $91.

Ethereum Price Upside Hurdle

Yesterday, we saw an upside break in ETH price above $88 against the US Dollar. However, the price was contained near $91, which acted as a strong resistance and prevented gains. The same level was also near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $98 swing high to $70 low. Later, the price started trading in a range with resistance just below $91.

If we look closely, then it’s the 100 hourly simple moving average which is acting as a strong hurdle and currently near $88.20. It may continue to act as a barrier for gains above $90. Looking at the hourly chart of ETH/USD, there is a clear range pattern formed with support at $84.60 and resistance near $91. On the downside, the range support is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $70 swing low to $90.98 high.

As long as the price is below the 100 hourly simple moving average and $91, there is a chance of a dip towards $84. However, any downside move should limited, considering the current market sentiment. Finally, when buyers gain traction, ETH price may look to break $91 for further gains in the near term.
