ETH/USD 4-hour chart
Looking back, Ethereum has been able to contain gains from the crash that occurred on March 12 within an ascending channel. The channel support has been very instrumental to price growth in the last four weeks. However, the frequent up and down movements cannot be ignored. On the upside, the channel resistance continues to hinder growth.
Meanwhile, Ethereum has bounced off the channel support and is on its way towards $200. Buyers are trying to defend a higher support at $180 so that the focus can stay on $200. Technical levels from the RSI and the MACD shows that bulls are strongly in control. However, the oversold RSI suggests that traders should be on the lookout for a possible retreat below $180.
