Looking at the 30-minute chart of ETH/USD, the pair even traded above the $141.00 level and the 25 simple moving average (30-min). However, there was no break above the $142.00 resistance and a swing high was formed near the $141.71 level.

Later, the price started a steady decline and traded below the $140.00 and $139.00 levels. There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $131.00 low to $141.71 high. However, the $136.50 level acted as a decent support.

It seems like there is a strong support formed between the $135.40 level and the $136.50 zone. The 50% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $131.00 low to $141.71 high is also near the $136.40 level.

Therefore, if the price dips further, the $136.40 level could act as a strong support. A failure to hold the $135.40 support level may push the price back into the bearish zone. The next support is near the $131.00 swing low, followed by $130.20.

To sum up, Ethereum price is under pressure below $142.00 and a major bearish trend line with resistance at $139.00 on the same chart. A successful close above the trend line and $142.00 is required for an upside acceleration. If not, there is a risk of a downside break below the $135.40 support in the coming sessions.
