Ethereum Price ResistanceRecently, there was a solid upside move above the $430 level in ETH price against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair broke the $445 and $450 resistance levels. It traded as high as $463.91 before starting a short-term consolidation. It corrected lower below the $450 level and broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $403 low to $463 high. However, the decline was protected by the $4404-441 support zone. Moreover, the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $403 low to $463 high also acted as a support. More importantly, there was no break below $438 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. At the moment, there is a key contracting triangle formed with resistance near $455 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair has to break the triangle resistance and then $460 to gain upside momentum. If buyers are successful, the price could test the $480 and $485 resistance levels. Looking at the chart, the price is supported near the triangle support at $446. A break below the mentioned support may ignite more declines towards the $438 level and the 100 hourly SMA. It must stay above the 100 hourly SMA to avoid a bearish reaction back towards the $430 and $425 levels in the near term. Hourly MACD – The MACD is mostly neutral in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI is currently flat above the 50 level.
