Ethereum price retested the $2,440 resistance zone. ETH is consolidating gains and might soon attempt a fresh increase toward the $2,600 level.

  • Ethereum gained strength for a move above the $2,350 level.
  • The price is trading above $2,350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $2,360 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could continue to rise if there is a clear move above $2,430 and $2,440.

Ethereum Price Remains Supported

Ethereum price started a decent increase above the $2,300 level, like Bitcoin . ETH gained pace for a move above the $2,350 level to move into a positive zone.

The price even climbed above the $2,400 level. However, the bears appeared near the $2,440 resistance zone . A high was formed near $2,430 and the price is now correcting gains. There was a move below the $2,400 level. The price declined below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,260 swing low to the $2,430 high.

 
 
 

However, Ethereum is still above $2,350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $2,360 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

 
 

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $2,390 level. The first major resistance is now near $2,440. A close above the $2,440 resistance could send the price toward $2,500. The next key resistance is near $2,550. If there is a clear move above $2,550, there could be a drift toward $2,620. The next resistance sits at $2,650, above which Ethereum might rally and test the $2,800 zone.

More Downsides in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,440 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,360 level and the trend line.

The first key support could be the $2,350 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,260 swing low to the $2,430 high. A downside break and a close below $2,350 might start another steady decline. In the stated case, Ether could test the $2,265 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,200 level.

Nomura warns: US stock indices are "seriously distorted", ten stocks contribute 70% of S&P gains, beware diesel brings new shocks

McElligott believes that the S&P 500 is experiencing a "delusional boom": 85% of its constituent stocks have already corrected (one-sixth have been cut in half). What's more dangerous is the current extremely low market correlation, a situation historically seen only on the eve of the 2007 financial crisis and during the 2018 "Volmageddon". The market is facing two major hidden risks: first, OpenAI's revenue shock (only reaching 30% of expectations) threatens the foundation of the AI narrative; second, structural shortages in refining mean that the "diesel crack spread = interest rate volatility", becoming an invisible time bomb.

The 10-year US Treasury yield approaches 5.4%, with the AI halo unable to hide the "inflated" risks of the S&P 500

Behind the S&P 500's record high, only 30% of its constituent stocks are above their 50-day moving average, marking the narrowest market breadth at a record high since 1990. The Russell 2000 has fallen for five consecutive weeks, and high-yield bond yields have soared to 15%. Societe Generale warns that if US Treasury yields rise to 6% and oil prices reach $150, the S&P 500 could fall by more than 20% next year. In addition, some top-performing fund managers have completely exited AI stocks in favor of energy, stating that once financing dries up, it will be "game over."
