However, ETH bears failed to gain momentum below $140 and a swing low was formed near $140. The price started an upside correction above the $142 resistance area, but upsides remained capped. Moreover, the price struggled to clear the $144 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A high was formed near $144 and the price started a fresh decline. It is trading below the $142 level. Besides, Ethereum price is sliding below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $140 low to $144 high. An immediate support is seen near the $141 level. Additionally, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $140 low to $144 high is also near the $141 level. The main support is still near the $139-$140 zone. If there is a downside break below the $140 support, with a proper close, then there is a risk of another bearish wave in the coming sessions. On the upside, there are many hurdles, starting with the $142 level and the 100 hourly SMA. More importantly, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $143 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD. Therefore, an upside break above the $142 and $144 resistance levels is must for a decent recovery. The next immediate resistance is near $146, above which the price could continue to recover towards the $152 resistance area. Looking at the chart, Ethereum price is under pressure and it seems like the bears are in control below the $142 and $144.
