Ethereum Price Rejected at $2,400, Is Another Breakout Attempt Coming?
Share:
ETH surged from ~$2,220 to a high of $2,417 and is now consolidating above $2,300 and the 100-hour SMA; immediate resistances at $2,360/$2,380 and key barrier at $2,400 — a decisive break could target $2,480–$2,620. Downside if $2,400 holds: support ladder at $2,320, $2,300, $2,270 and $2,220; technicals show fading MACD momentum and RSI below 50, implying short-term correction risk.

Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,360 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,380 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,400 level. A clear move above the $2,400 resistance might send the price toward the $2,480 resistance. An upside break above the $2,480 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,550 resistance zone or even $2,620 in the near term.
