Ethereum Price Support
There was a decent rise in ETH price above the $1050 level against the US Dollar. The price traded as high as $1089 from where a downside correction was initiated. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $947 low to $1089 high. There was even a break below the $1050 support area, but the downside move found support at $1010.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $947 low to $1089 high acted as a major support. Moreover, there is a bullish trend line forming with current support at $1040 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair also stayed above the $1000 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It recovered later and is currently trading above the $1050 level. As long as the trend line support at $1040 is intact, the price may continue to rise in the near term.
A downside break below $1040 could push the price towards the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $947 low to $1089 high. On the upside, the price will most likely retest the $1089 high. Above $1089, the price may even test the $1110 resistance.
