ETH/USD Daily ChartAs shown in the daily chart, during the prior day, ETH/USD peaked at $488 and started the downside correction from overbought territory amid the current session. The RSI on the daily charts has reversed to the downside, signaling that the retreat is ready with the first target of $415. Support over $400 is anticipated to offer the bulls time to launch another relentless $500 attack. Even farther up, the next goal after $500 is $550.
During the current session, trading saw ETH decimate some buyer defenses such as level $450 and $440. The bears continued the market action in correction downwards, eying $415 but the buyer confluence zone is seen at $400 which momentarily paused the downside. While $415 is validated as a support, the rebound may gain momentum in the next sessions and take the price toward the $500 mark.

Technical analysis on the 4-hour indicates that Ethereum may be bracing to mobilize towards the $500 resistance level, and potentially even the $550. All in all, though exchanging beyond the $415 support level the ETH/USD pair is in a consolidation mode.

The ETH/USD pair is only bullish while exchanging beyond the $415 level, the main resistance is located at the $480 level and the $500 level. If the ETH/USD pair exchanges beneath the $415, sellers may test the support levels of $400 and $370.
