▲ Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to break through the $2,400 resistance level, continuing its upward trend after holding key support levels.
NewsBTC reported on May 5 (local time) that after maintaining a stable flow above $2,355, Ethereum has entered a zone that will determine its short-term direction regarding a potential breakthrough of $2,400. Ethereum rebounded similarly to Bitcoin (BTC) after defending the $2,320 support level, then successively moved past the $2,340 and $2,350 zones.
During its ascent, Ethereum formed a high of $2,398 before pausing. Although it temporarily dipped below the Fibonacci 23.6% retracement level of the rise from the $2,220 low to the $2,398 high, it maintained its position above the 100-hour simple moving average. On the hourly chart, uptrend line support formed near $2,350.
From a technical structure perspective, the key resistance level is $2,400. If buying pressure is sustained above $2,350, Ethereum could re-test the $2,380 zone and then attempt to break through $2,400. The next major resistance is $2,420, and a clear break above this level could open the door for a rise to $2,500.
If the upward momentum strengthens further, the short-term target range is set between $2,550 and $2,565. The hourly Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is gaining strength in the bullish zone, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also above the 50-line, indicating a bullish bias.
Conversely, if Ethereum fails to break the $2,400 resistance, a correction could resume. Immediate support levels are $2,350 and the uptrend line, with the primary major support at $2,330. If this level is breached, $2,310 and the Fibonacci 50% retracement level could act as the next lines of defense.
Should further declines occur, it could fall to the $2,285 zone, with the critical support level set at $2,250. The market is currently expected to determine Ethereum's next direction based on whether it breaks $2,400 and maintains support at $2,350.
