Ethereum Price Analysis

After a major drop in Ethereum, the $132 level acted as a decent support against the US Dollar. ETH traded as low as $132.10 and recently started an upside correction above the $140 zone.

Moreover, there was a break above the $150 level and the price spiked above the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). However, the bulls failed to clear the $158 and $160 resistance levels.

A high was formed near $158 and the price is currently trimming gains. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $132 low to $158 high. At the outset, the price is trading near the $148 support and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours).

Additionally, there is a major breakout pattern forming with support near $148 on the 4-hours chart. If there is a downside break below the $148 support, Ethereum is likely to resume its decline.

An immediate support is near the $144 level. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $132 low to $158 high might act as a support.

If the bulls fail to protect $144, there is a risk of an extended decline towards the $138 support. It represents the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $132 low to $158 high.

The main support is near the $132 swing low, below which the price could decline towards $124. Conversely, the price could rally above the $150 and $152 resistance levels.

The first key resistance is near the $158 level, above which the price is likely to accelerate gains towards the $162 and $165 levels in the coming days.
