The price for the Ethereum is gaining momentum

Ether price has been trading near the $ 1,400 resistance and a high is being formed near $ 1,389. The price is currently correcting below $ 1,380. It has already tested the 23.6% fib retracement level of the recent move up from the low of $ 1,300 to the high of $ 1,389.

On the flip side, there is great support near the $ 1,340 level and the 100-hour simple moving average. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent move up from the low of $ 1,300 to the high of $ 1,389.
On the upside, the $ 1,390 and $ 1,400 levels are initial hurdles. The current price action suggests high opportunities for an uptrend above the USD 1,400 resistance. In that case, the price could drift slightly towards the USD 1,450 and USD 1,480 levels. The next major resistance is near the $ 1,500 level.
Fresh bath at ETH?
If Ethereum fails to hit the $ 1,390 and $ 1,400 resistance levels, it could correct lower. As mentioned, there is strong support near the $ 1,340 level and the 100-hour simple moving average.
Unless the ether price stays above the USD 1,340 support, there is a risk of falling towards the USD 1,320 support zone and the broken trendline.
