Ethereum (ETH/USD) weakened early in today’s North American session as the pair depreciated to the 403.13 area after trading as high as the 411.47 area during the Asian session, right around the 50% retracement of the recent depreciating range from 421.47 to 401.51. Traders had earlier taken ETH/USD as low as the 401.53 area during the European session after some light Stops were elected below the 402.02 area, representing the 61.8% retracement of the recent appreciating range from 390.00 to 421.47. One appreciating range that traders continue to monitor is the ascent from 364.04 to 421.47, with the 407.92, 399.53, 392.76, and 385.98 areas representing important retracement levels. Stops were recently elected above the 378.85 and 399.87 levels during the pair’s ascent, representing the 38.2% and 50% retracements of the recent depreciating range from 488.95 to 310.79. Traders are also observing that the 100-hour simple moving average just bearishly moved above the 50-hour simple moving average, and this could result in additional market weakness.
Additional upside price objectives include 420.89, 425.31, 427.78, 437.41, and 446.90. Following ETH/USD’s run-up, traders are paying close attention to the 403.11, 395.14, 388.69, 382.84, and 374.27 levels as areas of potential technical support. Additional areas of potential upside pressure include the 393.37, 379.37, and 368.05 levels. The 396.69 area remains an important technical level, representing the 23.6% retracement of the historical depreciation from 1419.96 to 80.60, and traders are curious to see if ETH/USD can maintain this level.
