A clear move above the $4,250 and $4,350 levels could send the price further higher. The next major resistance is near the $4,500 level. Any more gains could lift the price towards the $4,650 resistance zone in the near term.

Fresh Drop in ETH?

If ethereum fails to start a fresh increase above the $4,250 level, it could start another decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $4,150 level and the trend line.

A downside break below the $4,150 support zone might start a steady decline. In the stated case, the price may perhaps decline towards the $4,000 level. The next major breakdown support is $3,820, below which the price could decline towards $3,650.
