Ethereum price corrected gains and tested the $2,500 zone. ETH is now again rising and might soon aim for a move above the $2,600 zone.

  • Ethereum started a correction from the $2,740 zone and tested $2,500.

  • The price is trading above $2,520 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

  • There is a key declining channel or a possible bullish flag forming with resistance at $2,575 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).

  • The pair could gain strength if it clears the $2,600 resistance in the near term.

Ethereum Price Eyes Upside Break

Ethereum price struggled to clear the $2,740 resistance and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin. ETH traded below the $2,700 and $2,650 support levels.

The bears were able to push the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,415 swing low to the $2,735 high. The price even spiked below the $2,520 level, but the bulls were active near the $2,500 zone.

The price found support near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,415 swing low to the $2,735 high. Ether is again rising from the $2,500 zone.

Ethereum price is now trading above $2,520 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,575 level. There is also a key declining channel or a possible bullish flag forming with resistance at $2,575 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum Price

The next key resistance is near the $2,600 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,650 level. A clear move above the $2,650 resistance might send the price toward the $2,735 resistance. An upside break above the $2,735 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 $2,920 in the near term.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,600 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,525 level. The first major support sits near the $2,500 zone.

A clear move below the $2,500 support might push the price toward the $2,420 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,350 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,320.
