Ethereum Price Regains Strength

The price cleared the $2,050 resistance zone. There was a break above a major contracting triangle with resistance near $2,055 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,126 swing high to the $1,986 low.
Ethereum is now trading above $2,050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $2,095 zone or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,126 swing high to the $1,986 low.
