Ethereum Uptrend Intact, Despite the Retracement below $236 Support

The market has been fluctuating between $236 and $244 but the current price range has been broken. On the upside, if there is a strong bounce above $240, the momentum will accelerate price movement to break the resistance at $244 and $248. The price will rise and extend to break the $253 overhead resistance.

If the bulls are successful above the overhead resistance, Ether will move up to $280 high. At this high, Ethereum will engage the last resistance at $280 to break it. The market will rise to $320 high if the momentum can clear the last resistance. On the other, if the bulls fail to break the $245 and $248 resistance, ETH will fall and resume a downward move.
