Ethereum Price Could Rally Soon Recently, Ethereum made another attempt to surpass the $145 resistance against the US Dollar, but it failed.

More importantly, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $142 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum Price Ethereum tested the $145 resistance once again, but failed to extend its rise. It seems like the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $146 swing high to $140 low is currently protecting an upside break. If there is a clear break and close above the $145 resistance, the price could rise steadily above the $148 level. The next stop for the bulls could be near the $150 resistance, above which the price is likely to grind towards the $155 and $158 levels in the near term. Dips Remain Supported On the downside, Ethereum is likely to remain well bid above the $140 support area and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If the price fails to stay above the $140 support, it could start a nasty decline. The next support is near the $135 level, below which there is a risk of a downside extension towards the main $124 support zone.
