Ethereum (ETH/USD) attempted to sustain yesterday’s strong move higher early in today’s North American session as the pair traded as high as the 265.81 level after trading as low as the 260.10 level during the Asian session. During yesterday’s North American session, ETH/USD found a bid from the 243.59 area and acute buying pressure propelled the pair as high as the 269.49 area before some profit-taking ensued. Notably, the pair encountered technical resistance around the 269.66 area, representing the 61.8% retracement of the depreciation from 364.49 to 116.25. Upside price objectives including 260.23 and 262.90 were easily absorbed during the pair’s move higher. Following the pair’s most recent range expansion, traders are paying close attention to price activity during retracements lower around the 262.91, 258.84, 255.56, 252.27, and 248.20 levels. Additional technically significant levels include the 247.20 and 242.80 areas, representing the 78.6% and 76.4% retracements of this year’s depreciation from 290.00 to 90.00. The 253.60 area remains another important technical level and traders are very interested to see how markets react around this level.

Traders are also eyeing the 221.29, 215.16, 190.93, 186.00, 185.39, and 185.11 levels as area of possible technical support. Notably, the 214.99 area represents the 23.6% retracement of the appreciation from 90.00 to 253.60.
