The ether of Ethereum could continue to recover
For the past week, Bitcoin and Ethereum rose again against the US dollar by over $ 1,150 and $ 35,000, respectively. ETH price even crossed the USD 1,200 resistance zone and was well above the simple moving average of 100 (4 hours).
The uptrend was such that there was a break above a large contraction triangle with resistance near USD 1,215 on the 4 hour chart of ETH / USD. Ether price traded as low as $ 1,292 before correcting lower.
There was a pause below the $ 1,240 level. The price was below the 23.6% fib retracement level of its recent spike from $ 1,066 to $ 1,292. However, the broken triangle resistance acts as strong support near the $ 1,200 zone.

The next big support is near the $ 1,180 level. It is close to the 50% fib retracement level of the recent spike from $ 1,066 to $ 1,292.

In the case mentioned, the ether price could even exceed USD 1,400 and rise to a new all-time high in the short term.
