Ethereum Price Eyes More Upsides

There was a drop below the $2,640 level. The price spiked below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2,528 swing low to the $2,700 high. However, the bulls were active near the $2,600 support zone.

There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with support at $2,620 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,660 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,700 level. The next key resistance is near $2,720.
An upside break above the $2,720 resistance might call for more gains. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,800 resistance zone in the near term. The next hurdle sits near the $2,850 level or $2,880.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,680 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,620 level and the triangle’s trend line. The first major support sits near the $2,600 zone.
A clear move below the $2,600 support might push the price toward $2,550. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,525 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,450.
