If the bulls push the price above the $3,000 resistance, Ether could even rally toward the $3,120 resistance. In the stated case, the price could rise toward the $3,250 level.
Are Dips Supported In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,880 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,825 level and the first trend line.
The next key support could be the $2,780 zone or the second trend line. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $2,728 swing low to the $2,869 high. A clear move below the $2,780 support might send the price toward $2,720. The main support could be $2,700 or the 100 hourly SMA. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,600 level.
