Ethereum (ETH/USD) continued to add to its ongoing bullish sentiment during today’s North American session as traders continue to manage market risk above the psychologically-important 200.00 figure. Traders lifted the pair to the 216.99 area during today’s European session before it came off, essentially around the same 217.00 resistance area the pair encountered earlier in May. Bullish sentiment remains ongoing following the pair’s improvement from the 90.00 level in March. During the climb higher, Stops were elected above the 214.40, 215.48, and 216.61 levels. Stops were also recently elected above the 202.73 level during the ascent higher, an upside price objective that represents the 76.4% retracement of the depreciation from 206.25 to 191.35. Additional Stops were triggered above the 205.44 area, representing the 76.4% retracement of the recent depreciation from 214.40 to 176.43, followed by Stops that were elected above the 207.43 area, representing the 76.4% retracement of the depreciation from 217.00 to 176.43. Also, Stops were elected above the 208.76 area, an upside price objective related to buying pressure that emerged around the 148.08 area in April. Below current market activity, traders continue to monitor the 191.93 area, representing the 38.2% retracement of the same depreciating range.
