Ethereum technical picture
ETH/USD is now trading at $390.00, above both 50 and 100-SMA on the hourly interval, but the upside momentum is fading away on approach to $400 handle. The bulls have to push the price above this level to create the sustainable impulse for further recovery towards $440.00. On the downside, the local support comes at $370; a move below will open the way to Sunday's low at $358.80 and by the critical $320.00-$300.00 area.
