The price of Ethereum (ETH) has fallen below the moving averages as sellers pushed the altcoin to the previous low at $2,578. Today, the bulls are trying to defend the support at $2,600 as the altcoin continues its uptrend.
The current support is crucial for buyers, as a break below it would drop the cryptocurrency to a low of $2,300. However, a price rise above the current support will catapult Ether above the moving averages. Subsequently, the bullish momentum will extend to the high at $3,200. In the meantime, the uptrend meets initial resistance at the $2,800 resistance zone. The bullish scenario will be invalidated if buyers fail to overcome the high at $2,800.
