Ethereum started a sharp decline below the $265 and $260 support levels against the US Dollar. ETH even tumbled below $250 and it is currently correcting losses.

  • Ethereum is down more than 8% and it even spiked below the $250 support against the US Dollar.
  • The price traded as low as $236 and it is currently recovering losses.
  • There is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $264 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • Bitcoin price is also under pressure and it is trading below the $10,000 level.

Ethereum Price Facing Hurdles

After starting a downside correction, Ethereum struggled to stay above the key $265 support against the US Dollar. As a result, ETH price declined sharply below the $250 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

The bears gained traction and the price declined below the $242 support. A swing low is formed near $236 and the price is currently correcting losses. It broke the $242 and $245 levels.

Besides, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent dive from the $274 high to $236 low. Ethereum even recovered above the $255 level, but the price failed to continue above the $260 area.

It seems like the previous key support near $260 is acting as a strong hurdle for the bulls. More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $264 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent dive from the $274 high to $236 low is also near the $260 area and acting as a hurdle for the bulls. Therefore, a clear break above the $260 level, 100 hourly simple moving average, and the trend line is needed for a fresh increase in the near term.

More Losses?

If the price fails to recover above $260 and the 100 hourly simple moving average, there are chances of more losses in the near term.

An initial support is near the $242 level. If there is a downside break below the $242 support, there is a risk of more losses below the $240 support area in the coming sessions. The next major support could be $235 and $232 levels.
