Ethereum Price Break

Ethereum price ETH started recovering this past week, and it looks like the price is set for more upsides in the short term. As mentioned, the price is currently attempting to close above a bearish trend line formed on the hourly chart (data feed via Kraken) of ETH/USD. If there is a successful close above the trend line resistance, then the ETH bulls may gain control for a move towards $15.00.

The price is also above the 100-hourly simple moving average, which is a sign that the current momentum is with the bulls. On the upside, an intermediate resistance is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $15.10 high to $13.70 low. So, a trend line break along with the stated level fib clearance might push the price towards $15.00.

If there is no close above the trend line resistance, then there is a chance of ETH moving down. In that situation, the 100 hourly simple moving average may act as a support area. I think one should wait for a break in order to enter a buy trade with a stop below 100 SMA.

Hourly MACD – The MACD may move to the bullish area, signaling a break ahead.

Hourly RSI – The RSI is above the 50 level, which is a bullish sign in the short term.

Major Support Level – $14.00

Major Resistance Level – $14.50
