The price surged above the $720 and $750 resistance levels to trade to a new all-time high at $758.23. Later, a downside correction was initiated and the price moved below the $700 and $650 support levels. A low was formed at $631 from where the price moved higher once again.
It traded as high as $739.29 and is currently facing minor sell offers. On the downside, an initial support is around the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $631.75 low to $739.29 high. Moreover, there are two important bullish trend lines forming with support at $685 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair remains well supported above the $685 level. More importantly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $631.75 low to $739.29 high is also around $685.
