A low was formed at $1,911 and the price recently started a recovery wave. There was a recovery wave above the $2,250 level. The price broke the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,920 swing high to the $1,910 swing low.

Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,400 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is still trading below $2,650 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

On the upside, the price is facing hurdles near the $2,550 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,920 swing high to the $1,910 swing low. The first major resistance is near the $2,680 level.

The next major hurdle is near the $2,650 level. A close above the $2,650 level might send Ether toward the $2,850 resistance. The next key resistance is near $2,880. An upside break above the $2,880 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,000 resistance zone in the near term.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,550 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near $2,365. The first major support sits near the $2,250 zone.

A clear move below the $2,250 support might push the price toward $2,050. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,000 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,920.
