Ethereum Price Analysis

In the past few sessions, there was a slow and steady rise in Ethereum from the $286 swing low against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair formed a decent support base above the $285 level and recently traded above the $290 and $295 resistance levels. Moreover, there was a close above the $300 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It opened the doors for more gains above the $305 level.

A new weekly high was formed near $311 and the price is currently correcting lower. It broke the $305 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $290 low to $311 high. However, the recent decline seems limited, with supports near $302 and $300. At the outset, the $302 level is acting as a solid support. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $290 low to $311 high is near the $300 level to act as a strong support.

More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $292 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair remains well supported on the downside near the $300, $295 and $292 levels. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $290 low to $311 high is also near $298. Therefore, dips remain well supported on the downside in the near term.

On the upside, if there is a break above the $308-310 resistance, the price could accelerate higher. The next major hurdle for the bulls is near the $308 level, above which the price could accelerate towards the $325 level.

Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is showing a lot of positive signs above $300 and it even outpaced bitcoin in the recent upward move. Once the current correction is complete, the price could rise above $310.
