Ethereum Price Dips Again
Ethereum price remained supported and started a fresh increase above $2,620, beating Bitcoin. ETH gained pace for a move above the $2,650 resistance zone.
The bulls were able to push the price above the $2,700 resistance zone. A high was formed at $2,736 and the price is now correcting gains. The price dipped below $2,650 and even spiked below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,415 swing low to the $2,736 high.
However, the bulls are still active above $2,550. Ethereum price is now trading above $2,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,620 level.

The next key resistance is near the $2,680 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,720 level. A clear move above the $2,720 resistance might send the price toward the $2,820 resistance.

More Losses In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,630 resistance, it could start a fresh downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,575 level. The first major support sits near the $2,500 zone or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,415 swing low to the $2,736 high.
A clear move below the $2,500 support might push the price toward the $2,420 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,350 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,320.
