Ethereum Price Starts Recovery

Ethereum price extended its decline below the $2,600 level like Bitcoin. ETH traded below the $2,550 and $2,500 support levels to enter a short-term bearish zone.

The price traded as low as $2,445 and is currently correcting losses. There was a minor increase above the $2,500 level. The price traded above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,758 swing high to the $2,445 low.

The first major resistance is near the $2,600 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,758 swing high to the $2,445 low.

A clear move above the $2,600 resistance might send the price toward the $2,650 resistance. An upside break above the $2,650 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions.
