Ethereum Price Aims Higher


Ethereum price formed a base near $2,280 and started a fresh increase like Bitcoin. ETH was able to clear the $2,320 and $2,350 resistance levels.


BTC gained over 5% but ETH struggled to match the strength. It cleared the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,392 swing high to the $2,277 low. It even traded above the $2,392 high and is now showing positive signs.


Ethereum price is now trading above $2,350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2,310 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.


On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,420 level. It is close to the 1.236 Fib extension level of the downward wave from the $2,392 swing high to the $2,277 low. The first major resistance is near the $2,450 level. The next key resistance is near $2,550.

Ethereum Price

An upside break above the $2,550 resistance might call for more gains. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,650 resistance zone in the near term. The next hurdle sits near the $2,720 level or $2,750.


Are Dips Supported In ETH?


If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,420 resistance, it could start another decline in the near term. Initial support on the downside is near $2,365. The first major support sits near the $2,310 zone and the trend line zone.


A clear move below the $2,310 support might push the price toward $2,280. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,220 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,150.
