Ether price must clear the $2,575 and $2,600 resistance levels to start a steady increase. An immediate barrier could $2,620, above which the bulls might aim a strong increase.

Fresh Decline in ETH?

If ethereum fails to start a fresh increase above the $2,600 level, it could start another decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $2,540 level.

The next major support is near the $2,500 level. A close below the $2,500 support zone could out a lot of pressure on the bulls. The next major support might be near the $2,420 level, below which there is a risk of a move towards the $2,350 level in the coming days.
