Ethereum has seen a 13% price surge over the past week. The cryptocurrency had previously broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern. ETH continues to struggle to break the March 2019 support level (now resistance) at 0.0337 BTC.

ETH/USD – Bulls Spike Into Bearish .5 Fib Retracement.

Key Support Levels: $376, $364, $356.
Key Resistance Levels: $396, $400, $410.

Ethereum has been on a bullish footing since breaking out of the consolidation phase last week. Over the past seven days, Ethereum managed to rise by a total of 12% to reach the current level.

It had surged higher at the start of this week as it reached as high as $396, where it ran into resistance at a bearish .5 Fib Retracement level. It has since dropped lower but is supported by the previous resistance at $375.

Looking ahead, if the bulls regroup and start to push higher again, the first level of resistance lies at $390. This is followed by resistance at $396 (bearish .5 Fib), $400, and $410. Added resistance lies at $416 (bearish .618 Fib) and $421.
