Ethereum Price Upside HurdleThis past week, there were many swing moves near the $470-80 zone in ETH price against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair made many attempts to settle above the $490-500 resistance zone. However, buyers failed to gain bullish momentum and the price remained in a bearish zone below $490. The last swing high was $486.21 from where the price corrected lower. It broke the 50% fib retracement level of the last wave from the $446 low to $486 high. There was even a spike below the $460 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). Later, buyers appeared near the $455 level and the 76.4% fib retracement level of the last wave from the $446 low to $486 high.
