ETH Price Could Drop Below $225 Unless It Moves Above $235

Unless the Ethereum cryptocurrency moves up its price action above $235, the ETH price could drop below $225 and post new losses. This is the reality that many analysts are discussing now, all while Ethereum faces a couple of important hurdles near the $235 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

After a strong decline below $235, the ETH price could drop and is at risk. It found support near the $228 level against the US dollar and started an upside correction above the $230 level, but it is now well below the 100 hourly simple moving average.

We could notice a break above the $232 level, plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from a $250 high to a $228 low. Still, the Ethereum news showed that the price is struggling to get above the $235 resistance which is a multi touch zone.

The 100 hourly SMA is also positioned near the $235 level which acts as a resistance. A common fact is that the ETH price could drop if it does not attempt to secure a position above this level.

It seems like there is some short-term declining channel that is forming with support near $230 on the hourly chart of the ETH/USD pair. If the pair fails to stay above the channel support $230, it could resume its decline.

Now, the next support is positioned near the $228 level, below which the ETH price could drop and test the $225 support. Any further losses may also spark a sharp decline below the $220 level in the near term.

As analysts point out, the first major hurdle for ETH in the cryptonews is the $235 level. If we see an upside break above $235, the price could test the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from a $250 high to a $228 low at $238.

In a positive scenario, the Ethereum ETH price could benefit if the bulls gain traction above $235 and $238 resistance levels, which is how ETH might continue to rise and visit the resistance level at $240.
