The channel support is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $2,560 swing low to $2,764 high. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $2,750 and $2,760 levels. A successful close above the $2,760 zone could set the pace for more gains.
The next major resistance is near the $2,800 level, above which the price could accelerate higher towards the $2,880 level. The main target for the bulls may possibly be near the $3,000 level.
Dips Limited in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to extend gains above $2,750, there could be a downside correction. An immediate support is near the channel trend line or $2,650.
A downside break below the channel support could lead the price towards the $2,600 support. Any more losses might call for an extended decline towards the $2,550 support zone or the 100 hourly simple moving average in the near term.
