More Losses in ETH?
If ethereum fails to start a recovery wave above the $2,400 level, it could continue to move down. An initial support on the downside is near the $2,300 level.
The next major support is near the $2,250 level. A downside break below the $2,250 support could push the price towards the $2,200 support level. If there are additional losses, the bears might aim a move towards the $2,050 level in the near term.
