The next resistance sits at $2,420. Any more gains could start a wave toward the $2,500 level, above which Ethereum might rally and test the $2,550 zone.

Another Rejection in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,265 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,220 level and the 100 hourly SMA.

 

The first key support could be the $2,180 zone and the trend line. A downside break and a close below $2,180 might send the price further lower. In the stated case, Ether could revisit the $2,120 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,000 level in the coming sessions.
