A successful break above the triangle resistance could open the doors for a fresh increase above $2,150. In the stated case, the price is likely to rally towards $2,200 or $2,250. The next key barrier for the bulls could be $2,320.
Downside Breaks in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,120 resistance, it could correct lower. The first major support is now forming near the $2,080 level and the triangle lower trend line.
The main support is still near the $2,050 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Any more losses might call for a test of the $2,000 support, below which the price might test the $1,920 level in the coming sessions.
