More importantly, there is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $132 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Conversely, Ethereum might struggle to gain momentum above the $132 and $133 levels. In the mentioned bearish case, the price could struggle to stay above $130 and the 100 hourly SMA. If there is a close below $130 and the 100 hourly SMA, the bears are likely to gain traction and the price may perhaps slide towards the $125 support area.
