  Ethereum Price Analysis

  Yesterday, there was the start of a downside correction in Ethereum price from the $135 resistance against the US Dollar. Moreover, ETH price settled below the $130 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

  It opened the doors for more losses and the price traded below $128. Recently, there was a break below a contracting triangle with support near $127 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

  As a result, the price seems to be struggling to stay above the key $125 support area. If there is a successful close below the $125 support, the price could continue to move down. The next support is near the $120 level, below which the bears are likely to gain momentum and they might aim $115.

  On the upside, Ethereum is facing hurdles near the $130 area and the 100 hourly simple moving average. An initial resistance is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $130 high to $125 low.

  Besides, there is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $130 on the same chart. An intermediate resistance is near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $130 high to $125 low.

  Therefore, a successful close above the $130 resistance and the trend line is needed for a fresh increase. In the mentioned case, the price could revisit the $135 resistance area.

  On the other hand, the price could struggle to recover above $130 and the 100 hourly SMA. Additionally, a break below the $125 support may perhaps put the bears in full control in the short term.
