Ethereum Price Chart Analysis ETH BTC Chart

Looking at the chart, the price formed a swing low near 0.0245BTC and started a decent recovery. There was a break above the 0.0260BTC resistance level to start an upward move.

Moreover, there was a break above
the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 0.0298BTC high to 0.0245BTC
swing low. The price even pierced the 0.0280BTC level, but it struggled to
continue higher.

It faced a strong resistance near
0.0282BTC and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). Besides, the 61.8% Fib
retracement level of the last drop from the 0.0298BTC high to 0.0245BTC swing
low also acted as a resistance.

As a result, there was a fresh
decline in Ethereum price below the 0.0275BTC and 0.0270BTC level. It is
currently trading near the 0.0260BTC support area. More importantly, there is a
key ascending channel forming with support at 0.0260BTC on the 4-hours chart of
the ETH/BTC pair.

If there is a downside break
below the channel support, the price could move back in a bearish zone and it
is likely to test the 0.0250BTC or 0.0245BTC support level.

Conversely, Ethereum could bounce
back from the 0.0260BTC support. However, on the upside, there are many hurdles
for ETH near the 0.0275BTC, 0.0280BTC and 0.0282BTC levels. Only a close above
the 0.0282BTC level and the 100 SMA might accelerate gains in the near term.
