Ethereum price faces resistance
Ethereum price tried to make a recovery wave above the $2400 level. However, Ethereum failed to surpass the resistance area at $2450. There was a fresh decline below $2320 like Bitcoin.
The price tested the support zone at $2150. A low was formed at $2150 and now the price is trying to form a recovery wave. There was a move above the resistance levels of $2220 and $2280. The price rose above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the swing high at $2488 to the swing low at $2150.
There was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $2,280 on the hourly chart of the ETH/USD pair. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,320 and the 100-hour simple moving average.
On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,320 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,360 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,488 high to $2,150 low. A close above the $2,360 level could push Ether towards the $2,420 resistance level.
The next major resistance is near $2,480. An upside break above the $2,480 resistance could push the price towards the $2,550 resistance area in the near term.
Another drop in ETH?

A clear move below the $2180 support could push the price towards $2150. Any further losses could push the price towards the $2050 support in the near term. The next major support level is at $2000.
