Ethereum Price Eyes More Upsides
Ethereum price remained stable above the $2,550 pivot level like Bitcoin. ETH cleared the $2,600 and $2,620 resistance levels. The price even spiked above $2,650 before there was a downside correction.
The price is again rising and trading above the $2,600 level. The bulls were able to clear the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,685 swing high to the $2,538 low. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support near $2,610 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Ethereum price is now trading above $2,600 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,635 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,650 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,685 swing high to the $2,538 low.
A clear move above the $2,650 resistance might send the price toward the $2,680 resistance. An upside break above the $2,680 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,750 resistance zone in the near term. The next hurdle sits near the $2,880 level or $2,920.
Another Drop In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,650 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,610 level and the trend line. The first major support sits near the $2,575 zone.
A clear move below the $2,575 support might push the price toward $2,550. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,475 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,450.
