Ethereum Shows Signs of Recovery
Ethereum has managed to avoid further losses and remains above the crucial support level at $1,520. The recent rise in XRP has sparked a recovery wave in the cryptocurrency market, with ETH also experiencing an increase. It has surpassed resistance levels at $1,550 and $1,565, similar to Bitcoin.
On the hourly chart of ETH/USD, there was a significant break above a bearish trend line near $1,562. Additionally, the pair climbed above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of its previous downward movement from a swing high of $1,669 to a low of $1,542.
Currently, Ethereum is trading above $1,565 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. However, it is facing resistance around the $1,600 level.
Possible Recovery or Further Decline?
