On the daily chart, ETH recovery is capped by daily SMA100 at $185.30. A sustainable move above this resistance will open up the way to April 18 high $190.00 and psychological $200.00. This barrier may slow down the bulls, once it is cleared, ETH may experience a strong rally towards the next long-term target created by weekly SMA200 at $248.00 and $250.00.
On the downside, a move below $180.0 may worsen the short-term technical picture and attract more sellers to the market. However, the trend is bullish as long as the price stays above the upside trendline from March 13 low (currently at $171.85). If this vital support is broken, the sell-off may gain traction with the next focus on daily SMA50 at $156.50.
The daily RSI stays flat in a neutral position, which means ETH/USD may continue oscillating in the current range.
