Ethereum (ETH/USD) marched higher early in today’s Asian session, adding to the pair’s recent gains following Thursday’s dramatic depreciation from the 288.77 level to the 235.44 area. After Stops were elected above the 50-bar MA (4-hourly) during yesterday’s European session, the pair encountered technical Resistance for several hours around the 263.60 area, representing the 38.2% retracement of the move from 222.88 to 288.77.
Early in today’s Asian session, ETH/USD tested the 275.16 area, an important level that represents the 23.6% retracement of the move from 231.12 to 288.77.
