Ethereum (ETH/USD) appreciated steadily during today’s North American session as the pair gained ground to the 214.40 level after buying pressure originated around the 208.20 level during today’s Asian session. The 214.90 area remains an important technical level that the pair may test in the short-term, representing the 50% retracement of the recent depreciation from 227.50 to 202.30. The 217.87 level is the 61.8% retracement of this same depreciating range, and it served as technical resistance late last week as the market then declined to test the 23.6% retracement level of the same range. These trading patterns underscore the current technical nature of the price activity of ETH/USD following the recent relative high around the 227.50 level.
Stops were elected this week around multiple important technical levels, including the 213.05, 206.29, 199.16, and 198.09 levels. Above current price activity, traders will pay very close attention to the 232.88 and 242.09 areas, additional upside price objectives related to the 90.00 level, with Stops likely to be decent above the 232.88 area. When ETH/USD comes off, traders will pay close attention to levels including the 197.16, 187.79, 178.42, and 166.82 levels.

Also, the 50-bar MA (hourly) continues to indicate above the 100-bar MA (hourly), and continues to indicate above the 200-bar MA (hourly).
