If the bulls remain in action above $2,050, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,130 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,150 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,197 swing high to the $1,914 low.
The next major resistance is near the $2,200 level. A clear move above the $2,200 resistance might send the price toward the $2,250 resistance. An upside break above the $2,250 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,300 resistance zone or even $2,320 in the near term.
