Ethereum Price AnalysisAfter a sharp dip below the $205 and $200 levels, Ethereum price started an upside correction against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair formed a swing low near $197 and recently recovered above the $205 and $210 levels. However, the upward move was capped by the $215 resistance level. Moreover, the 100 hourly simple moving average (currently near $212) also acted as a strong resistance.
The price topped near the $215 level and recently corrected gains. It broke the $210 level plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent recovery from the $197 low to $215 high. However, the declined was protected by the $205 support level. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent recovery from the $197 low to $215 high acted as a decent support zone.
At the moment, it seems like there is a contracting triangle forming with resistance near $211 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. On the upside, there is a crucial resistance forming near $211, $212, and the 100 hourly SMA. If there is an upside break above $212, the price is likely to rally above the $215 resistance. In the mentioned case, the next possible target for the bulls could be $225.
On the other hand, if the price fails to break the $212 resistance zone, there could be a fresh bearish wave. An initial support is near the $205 level, below which the price could test the main $200 support level. Any further gains will most likely open the doors for more losses towards the $185 support level.
Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is showing a few negative signs below the $211-212 resistance area. The bulls need to soon gain pace above $212 to start a decent upward move. If not, the price is likely to react to the downside towards or below $200 in the near term.
