Ethereum Price Remains in Uptrend Yesterday, we saw a sharp rise in Ethereum above the $160 and $170 levels against the US Dollar.

A new monthly high is formed near the $176 level and the price recently corrected lower. It broke the $170 level to start the correction. There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $140 swing low to $176 high. On the downside, the $162 level is acting as a strong support and Ethereum is trading well above the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is also a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $170 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum Price If there is an upside break above the triangle resistance and $170, the price is likely to restart its rise. An immediate resistance is near the $175 level, above which the price could surge towards the $180 level. Any further gains could lead the price towards the $188 level. Key Buy Zones On the downside, Ethereum is likely to remain well supported above the $162 levels. The next major support is near the $158 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $140 swing low to $176 high. The 100 hourly simple moving average is also near the $155 level to act as a strong support. If the price fails to stay above the $158 support and the 100 hourly SMA, it could extend its decline towards the $150 and $144 levels in the near term.
