Ethereum Struggles to Break Resistance
Ethereum attempted to break above the $2,320 resistance but failed to gain enough strength to surpass the $2,350 level, similar to Bitcoin.
As a result, the price started a fresh decline and fell below $2,320 and $2,300. It retested the $2,240 support before consolidating losses.
Currently, Ethereum is trading below $2,300 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. A key bearish trend line is forming with resistance near $2,300 on the hourly chart.
To initiate a new increase, Ethereum needs to stay above the $2,240 level.
Ethereum Price Outlook
If Ethereum manages to clear the $2,275 resistance, it could target the next major resistance at $2,300 or the trend line. Breaking above this level may lead to a rise towards $2,350 and even $2,400.
On the other hand, if Ethereum fails to surpass the $2,300 resistance, it could continue its downward movement. The initial support lies at $2,240 followed by the key support zone around $2,200.
