There was also no break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $347 swing low to $379 high. It seems like there is a short-term bullish trend line forming with support near $372 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $378 and $380 levels. A clear break above the $380 resistance level could open the doors for another increase. The next major resistance is near the $395 and $400 levels.

Dips Limited in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $378 resistance or $380, there could be a downside correction. A downside break below the trend line support could lead the price towards the $365 support level.

The 100 hourly simple moving average is also near the $365 level. Any further losses could lead ether price towards the main support at $355 (the last breakout resistance), where the bulls are likely to take a strong stand.
