Ethereum Price Range Pattern

Recently, there was a decline in ETH price below the $205-200 support against the US Dollar. The price traded as low as $190.20 before starting a correction. During the correction wave, it moved above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $225.98 high to $190.20 low. It gained pace, but the upside move was protected by the $208-210 resistance.

The $208 resistance is also the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $225.98 high to $190.20 low. There was a rejection around the $208 level and the price started trading in a range. There is a short-term contracting triangle pattern with resistance at $203 forming on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The triangle resistance at $203-205 must be cleared if ETH has to gain momentum in the near term. Above $208, the next hurdle is around another bearish trend line at $212 along with the 100 hourly simple moving average.

On the downside, the triangle support at $195 holds a lot of value in the near term. As long as the price is above $190, there is a chance of a move towards $212-215 in the near term.
