- Ethereum is attempting a recovery wave above the $2,300 zone.
- The price is trading above $2,330 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
- There is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $2,335 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
- The pair must clear the $2,400 resistance to continue higher in the near term.
Ethereum Price Eyes More Upsides
Ethereum’s price started a recovery wave above the $2,300 level. ETH was able to clear the $2,320 resistance zone, moving into a positive territory similar to Bitcoin. However, the bears were active near the $2,400 resistance level.
A high was formed at $2,398, and the price is now consolidating gains. There was a minor decline below the $2,360 level, with the price dipping below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,242 swing low to the $2,398 high.
Currently, Ethereum is trading above $2,300 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Additionally, a connecting bullish trend line is forming with support at $2,335 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,380 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,400 level. A close above this level might propel Ether towards the $2,465 resistance zone. The next significant resistance is near $2,500. An upside break above the $2,500 resistance might lead to more gains, potentially pushing the price towards the $2,550 resistance zone in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,400 resistance, it might start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,335 mark and the trend line. The first major support sits near the $2,300 zone or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,242 swing low to the $2,398 high.
A clear move below the $2,300 support might push the price towards $2,240. Any further losses might send the price towards the $2,150 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,050.
