It appears like there is a crucial contracting triangle building with resistance near $407 on the same chart. A clear break above the triangle resistance and $208 could open the doors for more upsides.
The next direct resistance is near the $412 level, above which the bulls are likely to aim a more massive rally towards the $420 and $425 resistance levels in the coming sessions.
Downside Limited in ETH?
If Ethereum declines to clear the $407 and $408 resistance levels, it could correct lower. Fundamental support on the downside is near the $400 level and the triangle lower trend line.
If there is a snag break below the triangle support at $401 and $400, either price might decline towards the $395 support. It is close to the 50% Fib declining level of the recent increase from the $379 swing low to the $408 high.
