Ethereum price is showing a few recovery signs versus the US Dollar, while bitcoin<\/a> is consolidating. ETH price must surpass $148 to move into a positive zone.<\/em><\/p>\n Recently, we saw a downside extension in Ethereum below the $144 support area against the US Dollar. Moreover, ETH price broke the $142 support area and the 100 hourly simple moving average.<\/p>\n Finally, it spiked below the $140 support and formed a new monthly low near $139. It is currently correcting higher and it surpassed the $142 resistance area to start a decent recovery.<\/p>\n Besides, there was a break above this week\u2019s key bearish trend line with resistance near $144 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD. The pair is now trading near the $145 resistance and struggling to clear the 100 hourly simple moving average.<\/p>\n The recent high is near $145 and the pair is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent recovery from the $139 low to $145 high. If there are additional losses, Ethereum price might correct towards the $142 support area.<\/p>\n Additionally, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent recovery from the $139 low to $145 high is near the $142 level. Any further losses might push the price below $140 and the bulls are likely to struggle.<\/p>\n On the upside, the bulls need to gain strength above the $145 and $146 resistance levels. More importantly, a close above the $148 resistance<\/a> and the 100 hourly SMA is needed for a sustained recovery.<\/p>\n The main resistance is still near the $152 area, above which the price is likely to start a solid uptrend in the coming days. If not, it could resume its slide below $140.<\/p>\nEthereum Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
