Ethereum Price Analysis Feb.25: ETH Reaches Fresh 2019 High Then Plunges 15% – Where To Next?

After breaking up higher and hitting the $170 level, the Ethereum market has now turned downward as the coin loses 15% over the past 24 hours of trading, bringing the current trading price down to around $140, at the time of writing.

Despite this significant decline, the market is still up by a total of 18% over the previous 30 days.

Looking at the ETH/BTC 1-Day & 4HR Charts:

Following our previous analysis, we can see ETH/USD breaking above the resistance at the $152 level. The market then went on to surge until resistance was met at the $170 level. After reaching the $170 handle the market then rolled over and dropped precipitously into support at the short term bearish .5 Fibonacci Retracement level (drawn in red) priced at $135.
The Ethereum coin has now broken below the 100-day moving average, once again.
From below: The nearest support beneath $135 is located at the bearish .382 Fibonacci Retracement level (marked in red) located at $127. Support below this lies at $120, $110 and $103.
From above: The nearest resistance now lies at $142 followed by $152. If the buyers continue above $152, we can expect more resistance at $160 and $170.
If the bullish momentum continues to drive ETH/USD above $170 then higher resistance lies at $185, $197, and $200.
The trading volume has increased over the past day, which caused the market to fall significantly.
The RSI has now dropped into the 50 zone, which indicates the indecision in the market. If the RSI breaks below 50, we can expect further price drops moving forward.
