The first major resistance is near the $2,750 level. A close above the $2,750 level might send Ether toward the $2,880 resistance. The next key resistance is near $2,920. An upside break above the $2,920 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,000 resistance zone in the near term.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,750 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near $2,700 and the trend line. The first major support sits near the $2,640 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,518 swing low to the $2,748 high.

A clear move below the $2,640 support might push the price toward $2,580. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,520 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,450.
