Ethereum Price Aims for Fresh High Above $2,420There was a break above a contracting triangle with resistance at $2,320 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The price even climbed toward $2,400. A high was formed at $2,404, and the price is now consolidating gains. It is holding gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,286 swing low to the $2,404 high.
The first key resistance is near the $2,420 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,450 level. A clear move above the $2,450 resistance might send the price toward the $2,500 resistance. An upside break above the $2,500 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,550 resistance zone or even $2,565 in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,400 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,345 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,286 swing low to the $2,404 high. The first major support sits near the $2,330 zone.
A clear move below the $2,330 support might push the price toward the $2,285 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,250 region. The main support could be $2,200.
