Ethereum Price Dips Again

Ethereum price failed to gain pace for a move above $2,680 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price declined below the $2,620 and $2,600 levels.

The bears even pushed the price below the $2,600 level. Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2,540 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair tested the $2,450 zone and started a consolidation phase.

There was a minor increase above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,679 swing high to the $2,455 low. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $2,540 level. The next key resistance is near the $2,565 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,679 swing high to the $2,455 low. The first major resistance is near the $2,620 level.

Ethereum Price

A clear move above the $2,620 resistance might send the price toward the $2,680 resistance. An upside break above the $2,680 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,800 resistance zone or even $2,880 in the near term.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,540 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,500 level. The first major support sits near the $2,450 zone.

A clear move below the $2,450 support might push the price toward the $2,320 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,240 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,150.
