The 10239.21 and 10513.53 areas are the next upside price objectives related to this level.

Ethereum (ETH/USD) appreciated early in today’s Asian session as the pair traded as high as the 272.60 level after traders pushed the pair to the 275.79 area during yesterday’s European session. Prior to yesterday’s run-up in prices, the pair had been trading in a very narrow range following its depreciation to the 245.25 level last week after the pair failed to get back above the 287.13 level. During its struggle to claw back some lost ground after its move to the 245.25 area, the pair was unable to get back above the 268.71 area but thereafter has remained bid above the 256.30 level. This tight range suggests traders are waiting to determine if there has been a change in market sentiment.
Chartists have observed that the pair is back trading above the 50-bar MA (4-hourly), and continues to trade above the 200-bar MA (hourly) which is bullishly converging with the 50-bar MA (hourly). Traders continue to monitor some additional downside levels related to the recent depreciation from the 290.00 level and these include the 255.97, 247.94, and 237.98 areas. Below current market activity, traders are anticipating possible technical support around the 234, 230, 220, and 216 levels.
