Ethereum Price Battles Resistance: Will It Break Through and Resume Its Rise?

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience in the cryptocurrency market, I have seen my fair share of bull and bear runs. The recent decline in Ethereum price has been no exception, as it tested the crucial $2,450 support zone before starting a recovery.


As an analyst, I’ve observed that the value of Ethereum has continued to dip, testing the $2,450 support area. Currently, Ethereum is trying to regain its losses and push forward, but it’s facing challenges in breaking past the $2,550 resistance level.

  • Ethereum started a recovery wave from the $2,450 zone.
  • The price is trading below $2,560 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,540 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could start a fresh increase if it clears the $2,580 and $2,600 resistance levels.

Ethereum Price Starts Recovery

The cost of Ethereum dropped significantly below the $2,550 mark, similar to Bitcoin. At one point, it reached a minimum of $2,445, but has since begun to rebound.

The price of ETH surpassed the $2,500 mark and climbed slightly higher than its initial position. This rise exceeded the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the downward trend from the peak of $2,760 to the trough of $2,445. Additionally, there was a breakthrough of a significant bearish trend line that previously capped at $2,540 on the hourly ETH/USD chart.

Currently, the cost of Ethereum is being transacted under $2,560 and below its 100-hour moving average. As for potential growth, it appears that there may be barriers at the $2,560 mark that the price is struggling to surmount.

Approaching the $2,580 mark and the 100-hour moving average, a significant barrier has emerged. A key resistance is currently being shaped around $2,600, which also aligns with the halfway point (50%) of the downward trend from the $2,760 peak to the $2,445 trough.

If Ether manages to push past the $2,600 barrier, it may indicate further growth towards the $2,750 resistance level in the upcoming periods.

Another Decline In ETH?

Should Ethereum find it challenging to surpass the $2,560 mark as a hurdle, there’s a potential for another dip in its price. A tentative floor might emerge around the $2,505 level during this descent. The first significant support lies roughly within the $2,485 region.

If the price falls significantly below the $2,485 resistance point, it could potentially drop to around $2,450. Further losses might cause the price to reach the nearby $2,420 support. The significant support level in the short term is at $2,340.
