The first key resistance is near the $2,370 level. It is near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $2,500 swing high to $1,950 swing low. A clear upside break above the $2,350 and $2,370 levels could set the pace for a surge above the $2,400 level. In the stated case, ether price may easily revisit the $2,500 zone.

Downsides Limited in ETH?

The first support is now forming near the $2,250 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If ether fails to stay above the 100 hourly simple moving average, there is a risk of more downsides below the $2,200 support. The next major support below $2,200 sits near the $2,150 pivot level.
