Ethereum Price Consolidating Gains

It seems like there is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $321 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. If ether price breaks the triangle resistance, it could even attempt to clear the $325 resistance. A successful close above the $325 resistance may perhaps open the doors for a sharp rally in the coming sessions. The next target for the bulls might be $350.
Dips Likely to be Contained in ETH
There are many key supports forming near $312, $310 and $307. If the price breaks the $312 support, it might extend its decline towards the $307 support.
The next major support is near the $300 level (the breakout zone), below which the price is likely to continue lower towards the $290 level in the near term.
