Resistance Levels to Watch
If Ethereum continues its upward trend, the first major resistance it will face is near the $2,330 level. The next significant resistance level is around $2,350, and if the price manages to surpass this level, it might test the $2,420 resistance. Further bullish momentum could push the price towards $2,450 and potentially even higher to the $2,550 level.
Another Bearish Wave in ETH?
However, if Ethereum fails to clear the $2,330 resistance level, it may experience another decline. The initial support on the downside is expected near the $2,300 level.
The next key support level could be at $2,280 or the 50% Fib retracement level of its upward move from the $2,234 swing low to the $2,327 high. A daily close below the $2,280 support might trigger a major decline and push Ether to test the $2,200 support. Further losses could lead to a price drop towards the $2,120 level.

Hot Take: Ethereum Faces Resistance While Attempting Recovery
Ethereum has experienced a decent increase and managed to clear several key resistance levels. However, it is now facing a critical resistance zone that may cause a correction lower. If Ethereum can successfully break through this resistance zone, it has the potential to continue its recovery and potentially reach higher price levels. On the other hand, if it fails to overcome this resistance, it may experience another decline and test key support levels. Traders should closely monitor Ethereum’s price movements and keep an eye on the major resistance and support levels mentioned above.
