ETH/USD: Technical picture

On the intraday charts, ETH/USD is ripe for the downside correction as 1-hour RSI reversed to the North from the overbought territory. The price returned to the area below the upper line of the 1-hour Bollinger Band and may extend the correction towards $195.00. This local support is created by the middle line of the 1-hour Bollinger Band. If it is broken, the sell-off may continue towards 1-hour SMA50 at $192.60 and $190.00.

On the upside, ETH has a chance to retest $200.00. Once this psychological barrier is out of the way, the recovery is likely to gain traction with the next focus on weekly SMA100 at $21 and SMA200 on approach to psychological $250.00.
