Ethereum is retreating lower from the $245 resistance against the US Dollar. ETH is now showing bearish signs below $235, but the $230 support holds the key in the near term.<\/p>\n
In the past few sessions, Ethereum followed a bearish path from the $245 resistance against the US Dollar. ETH price broke the main $235 support level and the 100 hourly simple moving average to move into a bearish zone.<\/p>\n
The decline was such that the price tested the $230 support level. Ether is currently correcting higher and trading above the $232 level. It surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $239 swing high to $230 low.<\/p>\n
On the upside, the price is facing a strong resistance near the $235 level. There is also a crucial bearish trend line forming with resistance near $235 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The trend line is close to the 50% % Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $239 swing high to $230 low. The next key resistance is near the $236 level and the 100 hourly SMA (the recent breakdown zone).<\/p>\n
If ether climbs above the $235 and $236 resistance levels, it could start a decent recovery wave. The next hurdle could be $240, but the main barrier for the bulls is still near the $245 level.<\/p>\n
On the downside, the $230 support holds the key in the coming sessions. If there is a successful break and close below the $230 support, it might confirm a bearish break.<\/p>\n
In the stated case, the bears are likely to take control and they might aim a test of the $220 pivot level.<\/p>\n
