Ethereum Price Trend Line Support

Yesterday, we discussed the chances of a short-term correction ETH price below $240 against the US Dollar. The price did correct lower, and moved below $240 to trade lower by $10. The price even traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $208.60 low to $244.42 high. It started a downside push, which later found support near $230.

The $230 support acted as a perfect buy zone, and pushed the price back up. It also represents the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $208.60 low to $244.42 high. At the moment, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $235 on the hourly chart. It may continue to act as a support and push the price towards $244-245. However, there are chances of a couple of swing moves between $242-235 before the price attempts a break.

On the downside, the trend line support at $235 holds the key. A break below it might ignite further corrections in the near term. On the upside, a break above $244 could push the price above $250 in the near term. Rallies in Bitcoin is putting pressure on ETH/USD, but it may remain elevated above $230.
