Although Ethereum‘s price recently aimed to exceed the $2,750 barrier, it lacked impetus and thus caused a fresh dip. Right now ETH is trading near to $2,600, which is strengthening its position and showing signs of likely more decline.
Ethereum Faces Resistance and Potential Downside
Starting from the $2,650 support zone, Ethereum began a little climb that temporarily outpaced Bitcoin over the $2,720 resistance level. Strong resistance around the $2,750 level, however, blocked further development; the price peaked at $2,763 before a corrective decline began.
In this change ETH fell below the limits of $2,720 and $2,700. Further dampening the short-term forecast was a significant contracting triangle with support around $2,695 on the ETH/USD hourly chart shattered. Right present, Ethereum is trading below $2,700 and the 100-hour Simple Moving Average; its low happened at $2,635.
To enable a probable upward advance, ETH would have to surpass first resistance at the $2,700 level, which corresponds with the 50% Fibonacci retrace of the current drop from $2,763 to $2,615. Should the price be able to above $2,735, it would target the levels of $2,65 and $2,800 resistance. A decent breakthrough above $2,800 may send ETH into the $2,880 zone.
However, the negative effects become more evident should Ethereum fail to overcome the $2,700 barrier. There is mostly support at $2,600; instant assistance arrives at $2,615. A determined move below $2,600 might lead to further decline close to $2,550 or maybe $2,520. Should bearish momentum go on, $2,440 would be the next main support level below this zone.
