ETH/USD 1-hour chart

Ethereum bulls managed to defend the 12-EMA even though the RSI has continued to remain overextended. Another leg up has taken Ethereum to $279.67 on Binance and it doesn't look like the buyers are done yet.

Currently, Ethereum is slowing down but is staying above $278. We could see another hourly bull flag before the next leg up.
