Ethereum (ETH) Price Analysis: Hourly Chart – Bullish

Since Ethereum broke out of the triangle pattern, the price action has been roaming on a sideways, now sitting on the broken triangle. Though, the price is now forming in a rising wedge. But it appeared the market is looking for a retest at the lower boundary of the wedge at $150 before bouncing back. A drive beneath the wedge may send ETH to near support at $141.

Bouncing off the wedge would be a perfect move and most especially an interesting experience for the bulls. The next resistance to watch out for is $156, followed by $160 – where the wedge’s upper boundary lies. We can see that Ether is currently lying at the mid-level of the technical indicators to show an indecisive market. However, we may need to wait for a while to see the actual play before taking a position.
