Ethereum Price Resistance

There were multiple attempts to break the $287-286 support zone in ETH price against the US Dollar. The price formed a decent support at $286 and started an upside move. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $303.63 high to $285.75 low. Moreover, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $290 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. These are positive signs above $290, but the pair is lacking momentum.

Therefore, any further gains above $292 won’t be easy. The most important resistance is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $303.63 high to $285.75 low. The 100 hourly simple moving average is also near $294 to act as a hurdle. There is a chance of another dip in prices towards $290-288 before buyers step in again.
