Ethereum Price Starts Consolidation
Ethereum price remained stable above the $2,550 level. ETH formed a base and started a steady upward move above the $2,580 level like Bitcoin. There was a move toward the $2,665 level.
A high was formed at $2,662 and the price is consolidating. There was a minor pullback below the $2,600 level. The price declined below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,536 swing low to the $2,662 high.
Ethereum price is now trading above $2,620 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is another increase, the price might face hurdles near the $2,650 level. There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with resistance at $2,640 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The first major resistance is near the $2,720 level. A close above the $2,720 level might send Ether toward the $2,750 resistance. The next key resistance is near $2,880. An upside break above the $2,880 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,000 resistance zone in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,650 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near $2,600. The first major support sits near the $2,580 zone. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,536 swing low to the $2,662 high is also near the $2,580 level.
A clear move below the $2,580 support might push the price toward $2,550 where the bulls could emerge. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,500 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,440.
