A downside break below the trend line support could lead the price towards the $1,150 support zone. On the upside, the $1,250 level is a major breakout zone. A clear break above the $1,250 level could open the doors for a steady increase in the coming sessions. The next key resistance is near the $1,300 and $1,320 levels.


Dips Supported in ETH?


If ethereum corrects lower below the trend line and $1,200, it could find a strong support near $1,150 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.


The next major support is near $1,120. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $983 swing low to $1,252 high. Any more losses may possibly call for a fresh decline towards the $1,050 support level in the near term.
