Ethereum Price Experiences Significant Drop
Ethereum’s price has seen a notable decline after hitting a resistance point at $2,500. Currently, ETH is down by 20% and struggling to maintain support around the $2,200 mark.
- Ethereum couldn’t push past $2,550, leading to a new downward trend.
- The price is situated below $2,400 and has fallen under the 100-hour simple moving average.
- A significant bearish trendline is now resisting at $2,415 on the hourly ETH/USD chart.
- If the price holds above the $2,200 level, there might be a chance for a potential rally.
After failing to stay above the $2,550 threshold, Ethereum began a sharp decline, similar to patterns observed with Bitcoin. Its current price dropped below $2,400, marking a shift into bearish territory.
The price plummeted below $2,250, reaching a low of $2,220, signaling more bearish signals as it hovers below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent downturn from $3,040 to $2,220. Additionally, a bearish trendline is materializing at the $2,415 level on the hourly chart.
At present, Ethereum is trading below $2,350 and its 100-hour moving average. If buyers can maintain momentum above $2,200, there’s a chance for an upward move. Immediate resistance is noted around $2,350, with more significant resistance at $2,420 along the trendline.
The critical resistance level here appears to be around $2,500. A successful break above this could lead to a rally towards $2,620 or potentially touch the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the decline from $3,040 to $2,220. Surpassing the $2,620 level might set the stage for higher price targets in the coming days, possibly reaching $2,800 or even $2,880 in the near term.
Potential Further Declines for ETH?
However, if Ethereum can’t overcome the $2,420 resistance, another decline may be on the horizon. The first line of support is near $2,220, with a major support zone at $2,200.
A significant drop below the $2,200 support could lead to prices slipping toward $2,120. Should this trend continue, the price might even approach the $2,050 mark, with the main support level being around $2,000.
