Ethereum Price


On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,240 level. The next key resistance is near the $2,250 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,320 level. A clear move above the $2,320 resistance might send the price toward the $2,450 resistance. An upside break above the $2,450 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,500 resistance zone or even $2,550 in the near term.


Another Decline In ETH?


If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,250 resistance, it could start a fresh downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,200 level. The first major support sits near the $2,150 zone and the trend line.


A clear move below the $2,150 support might push the price toward the $2,075 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,020 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,000.
