The price traded above the $1000 level and even broke the $1120 resistance. However, the upside move was limited by the $1150 level and a short-term top was formed at $1151. Later, a downside correction was initiated and the price moved below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last major wave from the $753 low to $1151 high. Furthermore, there was a break below the $1050 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. At the moment, the price is trading near the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last major wave from the $753 low to $1151 high. Should there be a break and close below the mentioned fib level at $999, there could be more declines. The next major support is at $950 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major wave from the $753 low to $1151 high. On the upside, there is a short-term bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1050 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair needs to break the $1050 resistance and the 100 hourly SMA to gain upside momentum in the near term. Hourly MACD – The MACD is currently placed in the bearish zone with a few negative signs.
