Ethereum Price Follows Bitcoin’s Rally, But Momentum Falls Short

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience observing and analyzing the cryptocurrency market, I find myself optimistic about Ethereum’s recent price surge. The steady increase above the $2,500 resistance is a positive sign, especially when considered in the context of Bitcoin’s rally.


The cost of Ethereum began a new rise surpassing the $2,550 barrier. Similar to Bitcoin‘s surge, Ethereum is moving upwards, yet it doesn’t show the same intensity.

  • Ethereum started a decent increase above the $2,600 zone.
  • The price is trading above $2,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $2,520 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could continue to rise if it clears the $2,630 and $2,650 resistance levels.

Ethereum Price Starts Steady Increase

The cost of Ethereum established a foundation above the $2,450 mark, leading to a new rise similar to Bitcoin. Subsequently, Ethereum surpassed the resistance at $2,500 and $2,550, positioning itself in a favorable zone.

The cost has surged more than 5%, breaking through the $2,600 threshold and reaching a peak at $2,630. The trend appears optimistic, with the price maintaining its advance above the significant Fibonacci retracement level of approximately 23.6% from the $2,487 low to the $2,630 high.

Currently, the cost of Ethereum is being transacted above $2,550 and is aligned with its 100-hour moving average. Additionally, a positive trend line is developing that offers support at approximately $2,520 on the hourly Ethereum/USD chart, indicating a potential bullish trend.

Looking on the positive side, it appears that the price may be encountering obstacles close to the $2,630 mark. The initial significant resistance lies at around $2,650, and the primary resistance is developing near $2,720. If we see a decisive break above the $2,720 barrier, it could potentially push the price towards the $2,880 resistance level.

If Ether manages to push past its current resistance at around $2,880, it could potentially lead to further increases in the upcoming trading periods. Under such circumstances, we might see Ether climbing towards the $2,950 resistance level.

Downside Correction In ETH?

If Ethereum doesn’t manage to surpass the $2,650 barrier, there might be a reversal leading to a decline. The first potential support point could be around $2,595. A more substantial support level could be found close to the $2,550 area or at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward movement from the $2,487 low to the $2,630 high.

If the price falls significantly below the $2550 mark, it could potentially drop to around $2520. Further declines may lead to the $2450 support level in the short term. The significant support level is currently set at $2320.
