The first major resistance is now near $2,445. A close above the $2,445 resistance could send the price toward $2,500. The next key resistance is near $2,550. If the bulls remain in action and push ETH above $2,550, there could be a drift toward $2,620. The next resistance sits at $2,650, above which Ethereum might rally and test the $2,800 zone.

Another Decline in ETH?
