On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,750 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,765 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,847 swing high to the $2,689 low. The main resistance is now forming near $2,800 or $2,820.
A clear move above the $2,820 resistance might send the price toward the $2,850 resistance. An upside break above the $2,850 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,000 resistance zone or even $3,050 in the near term.

A clear move below the $2,680 support might push the price toward the $2,620 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,550 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,500.
