Ethereum is struggling to gain pace above $2,300 and $2,320 against the US Dollar. ETH price could decline sharply if there is a break below $2,220.

  • Ethereum is showing a few bearish signs below the $2,320 resistance zone.
  • The price is still above the $2,200 zone and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $2,280 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair must settle above $2,320 for more upsides in the near term.

Ethereum Price is Facing Hurdles

Ethereum remained stable above the $2,200 support zone, similar to bitcoin near $38,000. However, ETH price seems to be facing a strong resistance near the $2,320 zone.

The bulls made a couple of attempts to gain strength above $2,320, but they failed. A high was formed near $2,346 and the price is now correcting gains. It traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,153 swing low to $2,346 high.

The bulls are now protecting the $2,280 level. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $2,280 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

A clear downside break below the $2,200 support zone could set the pace for a larger decline. The next major support could be near the $2,120 level, followed by the main $2,050 support zone.
