The pair is now consolidating near the $2,250 level. On the upside, there is a major resistance forming near the $2,300 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,496 swing high to $1,951 low is also near $2,288.

A successful close above the $2,300 level and the 100 hourly SMA is must to move back into a positive zone. The next major resistance sits near $2,350.

Fresh Decline in ETH?
