Ethereum Price Extends Losses
Ethereum price failed to clear the $2,550 resistance zone and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH gained pace below the $2,500 and $2,450 support levels to move further in a bearish zone.
The price declined over 5% and even traded below the $2,320 support zone. A low was formed at $2,251 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor recovery wave above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,519 swing high to the $2,251 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $2,450 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,390 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,380 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,519 swing high to the $2,251 low. The first major resistance is near the $2,420 level. The main resistance is now forming near $2,450.
A clear move above the $2,450 resistance might send the price toward the $2,500 resistance. An upside break above the $2,500 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,550 resistance zone or even $2,620 in the near term.
Another Drop In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,500 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,315 level. The first major support sits near the $2,250 zone.
A clear move below the $2,250 support might push the price toward the $2,200 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,120 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,050.
