Highlights:

• Movement of Ethereum above the $710 resistance against the US Dollar.
• On the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken), a key bullish trend line with support at $710 forming is apparent.

Since then, it has been climbing higher and has pushed the price back above the $700-705 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. These all are positive signs.
