ETH/USD: Technical picture

The next major target is created by weekly SMA200 on approach to $250.00. On the downside, the initial support is created by $200.00. If it is broken, the sell-off may continue towards $187.00. This support area is created by a daily SMA200.

ETH/BTC tested $0.2600 on Wednesday, but failed to develop the upside momentum. The coin returned to the recent range to trade at $0.0255 by press time. However, the price settled above 61.5%  Fibo retracement for the downside move from February 2020 high, which is a positive signal in the long run.
