Ethereum Price Starts Fresh Decline
This past week, we saw a nice recovery in Ethereum above the $140 and $145 resistance levels against the US Dollar. ETH price even broke the $150 level, but it failed to continue higher.
A high was formed near $154 and the price started a fresh decline. There was a close below the $140 and $138 support levels, which later acted as a key hurdle for the bulls.

Ethereum Price
Ethereum tested the $120 support area and it is currently consolidating losses near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $137 swing high to $120 low.
On the downside, an initial support is near the $120 level. If the bears succeed in clearing the $120 support, the price could continue to move down. An immediate support is near the $112 level, below which the price is likely to decline towards the $105 support.
Upsides Capped
On the upside, Ethereum is facing many hurdles, starting with $130. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $129 on the same chart.
Besides, the 100 hourly simple moving average is also positioned near the $130 level to act as a barrier for the bulls. A successful break above the $130 barrier could lead the price towards the $135 and $138 resistance levels in the near term. The main hurdle is now near $140, above which the price is likely to turn positive.
