Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,250 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,275 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,320 level. A clear move above the $2,320 resistance might send the price toward the $2,350 resistance. An upside break above the $2,350 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,450 resistance zone or even $2,500 in the near term.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,250 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,220 level. The first major support sits near the $2,165 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,059 swing low to the $2,273 high.

A clear move below the $2,165 support might push the price toward the $2,120 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,110 region. The main support could be $2,065.
