Ethereum Price Corrects Losses
Ethereum price started a fresh decline below the $2,750 and $2,620 levels, like Bitcoin. ETH price even traded below the $2,500 level and tested $2,440.
A low was formed at $2,441 and the price recently started a recovery wave. There was a move above the $2,500 and $2,520 levels. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,880 swing high to the $2,441 low.
Besides, there was a break above a contracting triangle with resistance at $2,550 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading near $2,575 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $2,585 level. The next key resistance is near the $2,620 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,660 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,880 swing high to the $2,441 low.
A clear move above the $2,660 resistance might send the price toward the $2,720 resistance. An upside break above the $2,720 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,800 resistance zone or even $2,880 in the near term.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,620 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,540 level. The first major support sits near the $2,500 zone.
A clear move below the $2,500 support might push the price toward the $2,440 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,420 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,350.
