Ethereum (ETH/USD) gave back some recent gains in today’s North American session as the pair traded as low as the 167.24 area after trading as high as the 176.82 area during today’s Asian session. Traders have pushed the pair through a series of Stops during the recent climb of ETH/USD to multi-week highs as traders have assumed more market risk and exhibited declining risk aversion. Stops were elected above the 153, 156, 159, 168, and 172 areas during the ETH/USD’s appreciation, upside price objectives related to last month’s low around the 90.00 area. Another important level above which Stops were elected is the 161.62 area, a level that is a downside price objective related to selling pressure that emerged around the 252.99 area in early March. Notably, another downside price objective related to this same area of selling pressure is the 177.39 area, and ETH/USD today stopped just short of testing this level. Above current price activity, additional upside price objectives include the 186.60 and 198.05 areas.
Traders note that the pair absorbed some Stops above the 154.00 area during its recent ascent back above the psychologically-important 150.00 area, a price level that previously had been reached on 20 March.
