The price cleared the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,385 swing high to the $2,025 low. More importantly, there was a break above one of the two bearish trend lines with resistance at $2,120 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

If the bulls remain in action above $2,065, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,165 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,200 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,250 level. A clear move above the $2,250 resistance might send the price toward the $2,300 resistance or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,385 swing high to the $2,025 low.
An upside break above the $2,300 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,350 resistance zone or even $2,400 in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,165 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,120 level. The first major support sits near the $2,065 zone.
A clear move below the $2,065 support might push the price toward the $2,025 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,000 region. The main support could be $1,940.
