Ethereum Price Starts Consolidation
Ethereum price failed to clear the $2,450 resistance and started another decline like Bitcoin. ETH traded below the $2,400 and $2,350 support levels to enter a bearish zone.
The price even dived below the $2,320 level. A low was formed at $2,253 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor recovery wave above the $2,285 level. The price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,466 swing high to the $2,253 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $2,310 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,300 level. There is also a declining channel forming with resistance at $2,300 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The first major resistance is near the $2,340 level. The next key resistance is near $2,360 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,466 swing high to the $2,253 low. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,360 on the same chart.
An upside break above the $2,360 resistance might call for more gains. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,420 resistance zone in the near term. The next hurdle sits near the $2,465 level.
More Losses In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,360 resistance, it could start another decline in the near term. Initial support on the downside is near $2,265. The first major support sits near the $2,250 zone.
A clear move below the $2,250 support might push the price toward $2,200. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,150 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,120.
