Finally, the price climbed above the 0.065 level and tested the key 0.070 resistance zone. The 76.4% Fib retracement level of the main drop from the 0.0766BTC high to 0.0491BTC low acted as a resistance.
There was a minor downside correction but the bulls were active near the 0.066 level. On the upside, ETH is facing resistance the 0.070 level. A clear move above the 0.070 resistance could send the price towards the 0.0765 resistance. Any more gains might open the doors for a move towards the 0.080 resistance.
If there is a downside correction, the price might find support near the 0.0665 level. The next major support is near 0.0630, below which ether price might revisit the 0.0585 zone and the 50-day simple moving average (blue) (the recent breakout zone).
Any more losses may perhaps send the price to 0.0520. If there is a downside break below 0.0520, the price could accelerate lower towards the 0.050 level.
Overall, ether price rally could continue higher if it clears the 0.070 resistance zone. In the stated case, the bulls might aim a move towards the 0.080 level in the coming days. Conversely, there might be a downside correction towards 0.0620 or even 0.0585.
