Ethereum Price Analysis

In the weekly forecast, we discussed the chances of more upsides in Ethereum above the $125 level against the US Dollar. ETH price did gain momentum and rallied above the $130 resistance.

Moreover, there was a close above the $130 level the 100 hourly simple moving average. Similarly, bitcoin price surged more than 5% and broke many resistances near $7,500.

Ethereum is also up around 5% and it is trading near the key $135 resistance. If there is a clear break above $135, the price is likely to accelerate towards the $140 and $144 levels. The main target for the bulls could be $150 if there is a clear break and close above $135.

Conversely, there could be a downside correction. An initial support is near the $133 level. Besides, the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $127 to $135 high it also near $133.

More importantly, there is a rising channel forming with support near $133 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Therefore, a downside break below $133 might start an extended downside correction.

The next major support is near the $131 level. Additionally, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $127 to $135 high is at $131. The next major support could be near the $130 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Any further losses may perhaps negate the current bullish view for a run towards the $140 level. In the mentioned case, the price is likely to revisit the main $125 range support in the near term.
