Ethereum Price Aims for Fresh Gains

Ethereum price managed to stay above the $2,300 support and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin. ETH price gained pace for a move above $2,320 and $2,350.

The price even climbed toward $2,365. A high was formed at $2,387, and the price is now consolidating gains. It is holding gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,220 swing low to the $2,387 high.

If the bulls remain in action above $2,350, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,385 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,400 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,420 level. A clear move above the $2,420 resistance might send the price toward the $2,500 resistance. An upside break above the $2,500 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,550 resistance zone or even $2,565 in the near term.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,400 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,350 level. The first major support sits near the $2,340 zone and the trend line.

A clear move below the $2,340 support might push the price toward the $2,300 support or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,220 swing low to the $2,387 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,260 region. The main support could be $2,220.
