It recovered well and moved above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $308.40 high to $272.67 low. There was even a break above the $300 handle and the 100 hourly simple moving average, which is a great sign.
During the upside, there was a break above yesterday’s highlighted major bearish trend line with resistance near $296 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. All these are positive signs above $295.
