Ethereum Price Remains In A Range<\/h2>\n

Ethereum price started a downside correction<\/a> from the $2,350 level. ETH declined below the $2,320 and $2,300 levels. It even spiked below the $2,250 level.<\/p>\n

A low was formed near $2,247 and the price is now attempting a fresh increase, like Bitcoin<\/a>. There was a move above the $2,265 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,327 swing high to the $2,247 low.<\/p>\n

Ethereum is now trading below $2,280 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $2,290 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2,290 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD.<\/p>\n

The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,327 swing high to the $2,247 low. A close above the $2,290 resistance could send the price toward $2,320.<\/p>\n

The main resistance sits at $2,350. A clear move above the $2,350 zone could start a major increase. The next resistance sits at $2,420, above which Ethereum might rally and test the $2,550 zone.<\/p>\n

More Losses in ETH?<\/h2>\n

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,290 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,250 level.<\/p>\n

The first key support could be the $2,220 zone. A downside break and a close below $2,220 might spark more bearish moves. In the stated case, Ether could revisit the $2,120 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,040 level.<\/p>\n
