Ethereum Price Eyes More Gains

Ethereum price started a fresh increase above the $2,520 zone, like Bitcoin. ETH price gained pace for a move above the $2,550 resistance zone and entered a positive zone.

The bulls were able to push the price above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,636 swing high to the $2,475 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,520 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum price is now trading above $2,565 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $2,600 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,636 swing high to the $2,475 low.

The next key resistance is near the $2,620 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 $2,720 resistance.

An upside break above the $2,720 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,750 resistance zone or even $2,800 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 $2,550 level. The first major support sits near the $2,520 zone.

A clear move below the $2,520 support might push the price toward the $2,500 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,420 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,350.
