The triangle support is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,613 swing low to the $2,732 high.

If there is another increase, the price might face hurdles near the $2,720 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,750 level. A close above the $2,750 level might send Ether toward the $2,820 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.

Another Drop In ETH?

A clear move below the $2,640 support might push the price toward $2,620. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,550 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,520.
