Thoughts: Based on a technical view, ETH looks like it may continue it's slow move towards the previous high near $400. It is taking the 2 steps forward, 1 step back approach compared to the initial parabolic runup to $400. There is no major resistance area up to $400 aside from the upper trend line and maybe at the ~$375 area.
Disclaimer: I hold a position in ETH. See your financial advisor before investing in any asset.
Looking at ETH's long term chart, subtracting the outlying May - July run, the price is on a steady trend line of support.
Agree, it had to consolidate from going parabolic and did not pull all the way back down to the level in May.
