More disadvantages to ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the USD 2,260 resistance, it could trigger another decline. The initial downside support is near the $2,200 level.
The first major support could be the $2,180 zone. A downside break and a close below $2,180 could lead to more bearish moves. In the said case, Ether could revisit the USD 2,120 support. Any further losses could send the price towards the USD 2,050 level.
