Disadvantage correction in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the USD 2,440 resistance, it could trigger another decline. The initial downside support is near the $2,380 level and the trendline.
The first major support could be the $2,320 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,180 swing low to the $2,441 high. A downside break and a close below $2,320 could lead to more bearish moves. In the said case, Ether could revisit the $2,200 support. Any further losses could send the price towards the USD 2,120 level.
