Ethereum Price Analysis

After a decent upside correction, ETH price faced a strong resistance near the $110 level against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair topped near the $111 level and started a fresh decline. It broke the $107 support to enter a bearish zone. Later, buyers were able to push the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $101 low to $111 high. More importantly, there was a break and close below $105 plus the 100 hourly simple moving average.

During the decline, there was a break below a major bullish trend line with support at $105 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair is now trading in a bearish zone below the $105 level and the 100 hourly SMA. An initial support is near the $103 level. It coincides with the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $101 low to $111 high. If the price fails to stay above the $103 level, there is a risk of a drop to $101. The main support remains at $100, below which sellers are likely to take control.

Looking at the chart, ETH price might correct higher in the short term, but there are many hurdles on the upside near $106. The key resistance is near the $107 level and the 100 hourly SMA, above which the price may retest $110.
