An initial support on the downside is near the $340 level. The first major support is near the $335 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $310 low to $360 swing high.
To start a fresh increase, the price must break the $360 and $370 resistance levels. A successful close above $370 is must for a decent move towards the $400 barrier.
Fresh Decline in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to correct higher above the $360 and $370 resistance levels, it is likely to continue lower. An initial support on the downside is near the $335 level.
A downside break below $340 and $335 could spark a fresh decline. The next major support is near the $322 level, below which there is a risk of a breakdown below the $310 support level.
