The 61.8% Fib reversal level of the recent decline from the $459 swing high to the $435 swing low also results in a hurdle. A clear break above the $450 resistance could easily take the price towards the $460 resistance. Any further gains might call for a move towards the $470 and $475 levels.
Ether Restricted To Downsides?
On the downside, the trend line support at $440 and the 100 hourly SMA are important supports for the bulls. If they fail to keep the ethereum above the 100 hourly SMA, there is a risk of more losses below the $435 low.
The next principal support is near the $425 zone. Any additional losses may open the doors for a drop towards the main $400 support level in the near term.
