An immediate upside resistance is near the $4,350 level and the contracting triangle pattern on the same chart. The next major resistance is near the $4,400 level. A break above the $4,400 level could push the price above the $4,450 level in the near term. Any further gains could lead the price towards the $4,550 level.
Will Ethereum Drop?
According to Jindal, if Ethereum fails to rise above the $4,350 and $4,400 resistance levels, it could start a downside correction. An initial support on the downside is near the $4,300 level. The first major support is near the $4,250 level. This is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $4,152 high to $4,380 high. The main support is near the $4,200 level. Further declines could lead the price towards the $4.120 support. The next major support for the bulls is near the $4,000 level, below which there is a risk of a larger decline.
