Finally, the consolidation phase was over and the price moved above the $1020 resistance. It broke many hurdles during the upside such as $975 and $1000. It cleared the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $1151 high to $896 low.

More importantly, this week’s highlighted key bearish trend line was broken at $975 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair gained traction and was able to move above the $1050 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There are chances of more gains in the near term since the price is above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $1151 high to $896 low.
