Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH/USD) gained ground to the 188.03 level early in today’s Asian session following another significant downturn during yesterday’s Asian session that saw the pair test Bids around the 171.00 level after depreciating from the 190.00 figure. Notably, the 183.84 area was a downside price objective target related to the recent depreciation from the 318.60 level.
