Ethereum Price Dips Again

The pair traded as low as $2,253, and is currently consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,465 swing high to the $2,253 low. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,300 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Ethereum price is now trading below $2,350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $2,250, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,300 level and the trend line.
The first key resistance is near the $2,335 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,360 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,465 swing high to the $2,253 low.
A clear move above the $2,360 resistance might send the price toward the $2,415 resistance. An upside break above the $2,415 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,465 resistance zone or even $2,500 in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,360 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,250 level. The first major support sits near the $2,220 zone.
A clear move below the $2,220 support might push the price toward the $2,200 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,150 region. The main support could be $2,120.
