Ethereum Price Eyes Recovery
Ethereum price extended its decline below the $2,650 level. ETH even traded below the $2,550 and $2,500 support levels like Bitcoin. Finally, the bulls appeared near the $2,400 zone.
A low was formed at $2,394 and the price recently started a minor recovery wave. There was a move above the $2,450 and $2,480 levels. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,820 swing high to the $2,394 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $2,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,550 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,555 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The first major resistance is near the $2,600 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,820 swing high to the $2,394 low. A close above the $2,600 level might send Ether toward the $2,665 resistance.
The next key resistance is near $2,720. An upside break above the $2,720 resistance might send the price higher toward the $2,820 resistance zone in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,555 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near $2,480. The first major support sits near the $2,450 zone.
A clear move below the $2,450 support might push the price toward $2,425 where the bulls could emerge. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,320 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,250.
