Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,750 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near $2,700 and the trend line. The first major support sits near the $2,640 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,518 swing low to the $2,748 high.
