The ETH/USD pair traded above the $104 resistance and formed a new intraday high at $107.81. Later, it started a downside correction and traded below the $104 level. There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $92 swing low to $108 swing high.

However, the decline was protected by the $97-98 zone, which was a support earlier. Moreover, yesterday’s highlighted key bullish trend line acted as a support at $98 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
