Hot Take: Ethereum Faces Resistance at $2,585
Ethereum is currently facing resistance near the $2,540 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline. To gain bullish momentum, Ethereum needs to clear the $2,550 and $2,585 resistance levels. Failure to do so may result in another drop towards key support levels.
