The next major resistance is near $2,940, above which the price might rise and test the $3,000 resistance zone.

Downside Correction In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,895 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,850 level and the trend line zone. The next key support could be the $2,800 zone or 50% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $2,722 swing low to the $2,894 high. A clear move below the $2,800 support might send the price toward $2,780 or the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The main support could be $2,720. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,640 level in the coming sessions. Technical Indicators
