Neither the bulls nor the bears have been able to break the range-bound levels. Presently, the bulls have been having an upper hand as the price made unsuccessful attempts to break the upper price range.

The bulls came back to the resistance line to retest the $200 price level. However, if the bulls succeed in breaking the resistance line, ETH will reach a high of $220 price level.
