Ether price is currently declining towards the $235 support level. The first major support is near the $232 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $223 swing low to $244 high.

On the upside, the price is likely to face selling interest near the $240 level. A successful break above the $240 and $244 resistance levels could open the doors for a strong rise towards the main $250 barrier in the coming sessions.

Bearish Break in ETH?

On the downside, the $232 region is likely to act as a strong buy zone. The next key support is seen near the $230 level (a significant breakout zone).

If there is a downside break and close below the $230 level, Ethereum is likely to move back into a bearish zone in the near term.
