4. 240 Important for a New Wave
An immediate upside resistance is near the $4,200 level. The next major resistance is near the $4,240 level, where the price could start a fresh rally. In the stated case, the price could rally to the $4,320 level. The next big stop for the bulls is likely near the $4,400 level.
Will Ethereum Drop?
Jindal says that if Ethereum fails to continue higher above the $4,200 and $4,220 resistance levels, a fresh downside correction could begin. An initial support on the downside is near the $4.100 level. An initial key support is now forming near the $4,000 level. This is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $3,740 low to $4,240 high. Further declines could lead the price towards the $3,920 support and the 100 hourly SMA. The next key support is near $3,800.
