In the stated case, ether price could rally towards the $2,200 resistance. Any more gains may perhaps send it towards the key $2,250 resistance zone.
Fresh Decline in ETH?
If ethereum fails to recover above the $2,400 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,995 zone and the 100 hourly SMA.
The next major support is near the $1,970 level. A downside break below the $1,970 level might call for another test of the main $1,920 support. Any more losses may perhaps clear the path for a sharp decline to $1,800.
