ETH/USD: Technical picture
ETH/USD is changing hands at $212.00 amid growing bullish pressure. The second-largest digital asset gained over 3.5% on a day-to-day basis, though it is still in the red zone since the beginning of the day.
From the technical point of view, the first critical resistance is created by $220.00. Once this barrier is cleared, the upside may gain traction with the next focus on $225.50 ( the upper line of the daily Bollinger Band). On the downside, the price is supported by the upside trendline from March 13 low (currently at $201.00). Once it is out of the way, the downside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on daily SMA100 at $190.00).
