Ethereum Price Trims Gains<\/h2>\n

Ethereum price managed to stay above the $2,320 support and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin. ETH price gained pace for a move above $2,380 and $2,385.<\/p>\n

However, the bears were active near $2,420. The last swing high was formed at $2,423 before there was a downside correction. The price dipped below the $2,365 level. Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2,365 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD.<\/p>\n

The price even tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move<\/a> from the $2,220 swing low to the $2,423 high. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,360 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

If the bulls remain in action above $2,300, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,350 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,380 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 $2,450 resistance. An upside break above the $2,450 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,500 resistance zone or even $2,550 in the near term.<\/p>\n

Another Decline In ETH?<\/h2>\n

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,360 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,320 level. The first major support sits near the $2,300 zone.<\/p>\n

A clear move below the $2,300 support might push the price toward the $2,265 support or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,220 swing low to the $2,423 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,200 region. The main support could be $2,150.<\/p>\n
