ETH/USD technical outlook

Despite the rebound witnessed on Saturday, Ethereum struggled to clear the 20-day and the 50-day SMAs and trades below those lines on Sunday. Meanwhile, the RSI indicator on the daily chart started to edge lower below 50, suggesting that buyers are not interested in a more decisive recovery.

The immediate support for ETH/USD aligns at $230 (Jul. 16 low) ahead of $225 (static level) and critical $215 (100-day SMA/Fibonacci 23.6% retracement of March-June rally). Resistances, on the other hand, could be seen at $240 (20-day SMA/50-day SMA), $250 (static level) and $255 (Jun. 2 high).
