Ethereum price dips below USD 2,550
Ethereum’s price struggled to stay above $2,650 and, like Bitcoin, started a new decline. ETH fell heavily below the USD 2,620 and USD 2,600 levels.
There was a break below a key bullish trendline with support at $2,560 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair fell below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2,488 swing low to the $2,719 high. The bears even pushed the price below $2,550.
Ethereum price is now trading below $2,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It is now approaching the $2,460 support zone and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2,488 swing low to the $2,719 high.
On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles around the USD 2,550 level. The first major resistance is around the $2,580 level. The main resistance is now forming around $2,610. A clear move above the USD 2,610 resistance could send the price towards the USD 2,650 resistance.
An upside break above the USD 2,650 resistance could fuel more gains in the coming sessions. In the mentioned case, Ether could rise towards the USD 2,720 resistance zone.
