Meanwhile, the price is finding resistance near $2,275. The next major resistance is near the $2,300 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level for a downside move from the $2,401 swing high to the $1,980 low. A clear break above the $2,300 area could push the price towards the $2,400 level. The next resistance level is $2,450. Any more profits could start a wave towards the $2,500 level.
Another decline in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,300 resistance, it could begin another downtrend. Initial support for the downside is near the $2,180 level.
The next major support is at $2,120. The current main support amount is close to $2,100. A sustained decline below $2,200 could lead to a prolonged decline. Key support is currently at $2,000, and a break below this level risks a near-term decline towards the $1,880 level.
