Ethereum Price Weekly Analysis

This past week, Ethereum extended its decline below the $126 support against the US Dollar. However, ETH price remained well bid near the $122 support area and stayed below the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).

The recent low was formed near $123 before the price started an upside correction. It traded above the $125 resistance area. Moreover, there was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $132 high to $123 low.

Having said that, there is a major hurdle forming for the bulls near the $130 area. More importantly, there is a crucial bearish trend line forming with resistance near $130 on the 4-hours chart of ETH/USD.

Besides, the trend line is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $132 high to $123 low. Above the trend line, the next resistance is near the $132 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).

The main resistance is near the $135 level, above which the price is likely to turn bullish. In the mentioned case, Ethereum price might rally towards the $144 and $150 resistance levels.

Conversely, the price might struggle to climb above the $130 and $132 resistance levels. Therefore, there is a risk of a sharp decline below the $122 and $120 support levels.

If the bears gain momentum below the $120 level, there are chances of a breakdown below the $115 swing low in the near term. In this case, the price may perhaps test the $105 support area.
