ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, if the bulls continue to push higher and break $323, the first level of resistance is at $333. This is followed by added resistance at $342 (1.414 Fib Extension) and $350.
On the other side, the first level of strong support lies at $306 (.236 Fib Retracement). This is followed by added support at $300, $288 (.382 Fib Retracement), and $275 (.5 Fib Retracement).
The RSI has dipped lower from extremely overbought conditions. Likewise, the Stochastic RSI has produced a bearish crossover signal. These two signals indicate that a potential retracement is imminent.

Key Support Levels: 0.0279 BTC, 0.0278 BTC, 0.0263 BTC.
Key Resistance Levels: 0.03 BTC, 0.0317 BTC, 0.032 BTC.
Against Bitcoin, ETH has also pushed much higher as it bounced from 0.0253 BTC earlier last week to push to 0.0317 BTC a few days ago. The coin has since dropped beneath 0.03 BTC again as it trades at 0.0286 BTC.

On the other side, if the buyers regroup and push higher, the first level of resistance lies at 0.03 BTC. This is followed by added resistance at 0.0317 BTC, 0.032 BTC, 0.0328 BTC, and 0.0337 BTC.
