- Ethereum slips below $320 for the second time this week but support at $312 is still intact.
- ETH/USD requires a boost above $320 in order to make the final run-up for the triangle breakout eyeing $400.
Ethereum bulls have for most of this week’s trading found it increasingly difficult to hold the price above $320. Note that, earlier in the week, Ether ascended to a new 2020 high around $314. Unfortunately, a reversal ensued, forcing ETH/USD to seek support at $305.

Intriguingly, the formation of a short term (4-hour range) symmetrical triangle pattern highlights the possibility for an uptrend continuation that could draw $400 nearer. ETH/USD is already trading at the apex of the symmetrical triangle. Ether only needs a boost above $320 and towards $330 to be able to actualize this breakout.

The MACD in the same range is falling towards the midline. In addition, a visible bearish divergence hints that the bearish pressure could continue to terrorize ETH.
