At $1,400 the level of resistance is most prominent. Clear breaks above $1400 could open the doors to an increase in price towards the $1450 level. A move toward the $1,500 resistance may be possible with further gains.
New Decline in the ETH
It could begin a new decline if it fails to surpass the $1,350 resistance or the 100-hourly simple moving average. Support for the downside lies near the $1300 zone.
Near $1,280 is the next support. The downside breakout below the $1280 level could lead to increased selling pressure. If this happens, the ether price could drop to the $1,200 mark in the short term.
