Ethereum Price Recovers Above $2,320
Ethereum price started a recovery wave above the $2,250 level. ETH was able to clear the $2,280 resistance zone to move into a positive zone, but momentum was weak compared to Bitcoin.
There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,488 swing high to the $2,150 low. The bulls were able to push the price above the $2,320 resistance zone. The price even spiked above the $2,350 level.
Ethereum price is now trading above $2,320 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $2,320 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,375 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,400 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,488 swing high to the $2,150 low. A close above the $2,400 level might send Ether toward the $2,450 resistance.
The next key resistance is near $2,500. An upside break above the $2,500 resistance might send the price higher toward the $2,550 resistance zone in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,400 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near $2,320 and the trend line. The first major support sits near the $2,240 zone.
A clear move below the $2,240 support might push the price toward $2,150. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,050 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,000.
