ETH/USD: Technical picture 

On a daily chart, ETH/USD has reached the upper line of the daily Bollinger Band, however, there are no signs of reversal so far. The RSI on a daily chart has entered the overbought territory, but it still points upwards, which means the coin may continue moving with the bullish bias. 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/USD daily chart

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.
