Ethereum (ETH/USD) was slightly stronger early in today’s Asian session as the pair reached the 169.53 area following a move to the 165.63 area during yesterday’s North American session.  Also, the pair traded as low as the 165.30 level during yesterday’s Asian session, an area that is right around the 38.2% retracement of the move from 302.20 to 80.60. During yesterday’s European session, the pair traded as high as the 170.43 area.  Above that area, traders anticipate Offers between the 171.10 and 171.39 levels, but these are unlikely to be too strong because the pair traded around the 172.00 figure on 29 August.

Chartists are observing the 173.80 area as an important upside target as this was the pair’s high following its massive depreciation last week from the 185.78 area.
