Ethereum Surges Higher but Stuck at $145

Buyers and sellers are unrelenting as the tussle for price possession continues unabated beneath the horizontal channel. Last week, the bearish trend was from a high of $152 to $140. The coin rebounded at $140 and moved up to $145.

Constructive buying at the lower price levels propels the coin to move up. The upward move is being hampered at $145 resistance. 

Possibilities are high that if the price is pushed higher, the coin will revisit the highs of $152 and $157. Conversely, failure in price upward movement will compel the coin to make a downward move. In the same vein, if the low of $140 is breached, Ethereum will sink to the low of $131. Meanwhile, the coin has failed to move up to the horizontal channel since November 24.
