Ethereum Price Weekly Analysis

This past week, Ethereum price started a short term recovery from the $233 swing low against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair recovered above the $240 and $245 levels. There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $274 swing high to $233 swing low. However, the price faced a strong resistance near the $250 and $252 resistance levels. Moreover, the 100 simple moving average (4-hours) also prevented gains and acted as a strong resistance.

Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $274 swing high to $233 swing low also stopped upsides. More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance at $248 on the 4-hours chart of ETH/USD. The pair is now trading well below the trend line, $250, and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). As long as the pair is below $250, it remains at a risk of more losses. An initial support is near the $240 level, below which the price could retest the $235 support.

If there are more losses, the price could decline sharply towards the $225 support. To start a decent recovery, the price must surpass the trend line, $250, and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). A successful close above $250 could initiate a strong upward move towards the $255 and $260 levels. The next key resistance for the bulls is near the $270 level.
