Ethereum Price Support

This past week, we saw how Ethereum price struggled to hold gains against the US Dollar, and also traded below the $10.00 support area. There was also a close below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $5.69 low to $11.42 high. So, it ignited a bearish pressure on the price, taking it below the $10.00 support area. There was another important point to note. It’s the fact that the price continuously struggled to close above the 100-day simple moving average.

It also was a major factor of the price not able to gain pace above $10.00. At the moment, the price is trading near a major support zone. There is a tiny connecting bullish trend line formed on the daily chart (data feed via SimpleFX) of ETH/USD. It is acting as a support along with the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $5.69 low to $11.42 high. As long as the price is above it, there can be an attempt to trade higher once again.

If there is a break below the trend line and the mentioned fib level support, there can be further declines towards $8.60 in the near term.

Daily RSI – The RSI is also above the 50 level, suggesting a bullish bias.

Major Support Level – $9.00
