Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH/USD) maintained its relatively tight range early in today’s Asian session as the pair continued to trade above the 122.75 area, a relative historic low that coincided with the pair’s eventual climb to the 364.49 area. Even though ETH/USD recently made a temporary push above the 132.90 area, traders have kept the pair below this level, an important one that represents the 23.6% retracement of the move from 302.20 to 80.60. Chartists have noted that the 50-bar MA (hourly) and 100-bar MA (hourly) have Bullishly converged, a development that may lead to additional price appreciation.

Another important level that traders continue to watch is the 127.14 area, representing the 23.6% retracement of the move from 199.56 to 104.77.
