Ethereum (ETH/USD) extended some of its recent sideways trading activity during today’s North American session as traders were able to keep the pair bid above the psychologically-important 200.00 figure after the pair traded as high as the 215.84 level during today’s European session. That level was just above the 215.48 area that represents the 76.4% retracement of the recent depreciation from 227.54 to 176.43. The market has derived some intraday technical support around the 210.69 area, representing the 23.6% retracement of the depreciating range. Bullish sentiment remains ongoing following the pair’s improvement from the 90.00 level in March, with Stops recently elected above the 214.40, 215.48, and 216.61 levels. Stops were also recently elected above the 202.73, 205.44, 207.43, and 208.76 areas.
