While the increase lasted, there was a break above the major bearish trend line with the resistance of $1660 on the hourly charts of the pair. The pair gained some pace above $1710 and spiked above the $1750 resistance zone with ethereum stuck at $1750.
Ether traded to a new all-time high of $1777 and is now consolidating the gains. It is trading well above $1650 and the 100 hourly simple moving average with the immediate support nearing the 23.6% fib retracement level from the rally at the $1488 swing low to the $1777 high. There’s also a key ascending channel that is forming with the support of $1710 on the same chart so if there’s a downside break below the channel support, the price will decline to $1650 support zone.
