The first major resistance is near the $2,700 level. The next key resistance is near $2,720. An upside break above the $2,720 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,780 resistance zone in the near term. The next hurdle sits near the $2,850 level or $2,880.

Another Drop In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,665 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,600 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The first major support sits near the $2,550 zone.

A clear move below the $2,550 support might push the price toward $2,525. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,480 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,440.
