Ethereum price faces important challenges
Ethereum saw moderate growth in the past few days and it broke the $2,500 resistance area, just like Bitcoin. ETH was able to climb above the $2,620 and $2,650 resistance levels. The price closed above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the decline from the $3,566 high to $2,099 low.
Finally, the bulls attempted to break the critical barrier of $2,750 but failed. The price even failed to test the $2,750 resistance and corrected some gains. The past two daily candles signaled exhaustion in the short-term uptrend.

Ethereum is slowly declining below the $2,650 level but it is still far away from the 50-day simple moving average (blue line). More importantly, the price remains below a critical bearish trend line resistance of $2,850 on the daily chart.
The current price action suggests that the price could decline further below $2,600. An immediate support is near $2,550. A primary support is near $2,500. The next support is near $2,440, which is a connecting bullish trend line on the same chart.
If the price closes below $2,440, ETH could drop to the $2,320 support level. If the bulls fail to protect the $2,320 support, ETH might even drop to the $2,150 support level. The next major support is near the $2,050 level.
Is there a new rise in ETH?
Conversely, Ethereum might remain stable above $2,600 or $2,440 and attempt a fresh increase. On the upside, the price might face resistance near $2,700. The first resistance is above the critical support of $2,750.
The next resistance is near $2,850, which is a bearish trend line and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $3,566 high to $2,099 low. If the price clearly breaks above the $2,850 resistance, it could open the doors to $3,000.
The next hurdle could be near $3,220 and $3,250. If ETH bulls push the price above the $3,250 resistance, there could be a strong up move. In this case, the price could move up to $3,550.
Overall, Ethereum price is struggling to stabilize above $2,750. If ETH breaks below $2,440, there could be a bigger decline towards $2,050 in the coming days.
