Ethereum (ETH/USD) Technical Analysis
Ethereum is currently down roughly 1.5% (at the time of writing) as prices briefly did below $1200. As the 23.6% Fibonacci of the 2020 – 2021 move comes in as resistance at $1216.42, the October low holds as support at $1155. While price action hovers around the $1200 psych level, a retest of the daily low at $1182.2 could provide bears with more fuel to drive the second largest digital asset lower.
