ETHUSD $170.00 breakout needed

Ethereum is struggling to recover above the $150.00 resistance level, following last weeks sudden drop towards the $135.00 support zone. ETHUSD bulls need to rally the cryptocurrency above the $170.00 level to change the short-term bearish outlook. Ethereum continues to have a high correlation to Bitcoin and could trade sideways until BTCUSD bulls return.

• If the ETHUSD pair trades above the $150.00 level, key resistance is found at the $158.00 and $170.00 levels.
• If the ETHUSD pair trades below the $150.00 level, key support is found at the $143.00 and $135.00 levels.
