It broke the $152 support and remained well below the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). Moreover, there was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $132 swing low to $158 high.However, the $144 and $145 levels are acting as strong buy zones. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $132 swing low to $158 high is acting as a support.
At the outset, there is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $150 on the 4-hours chart of ETH/USD. The triangle support is near the $144 area.
