Ethereum Faces Rejection At $2,800, Consolidates Above $2,700 Support

For the past two days, Ether (ETH) price has been retesting the $2,800 resistance to break it. On April 29 and 30, the bulls retested the resistance but Ether fell on two occasions to $2,700 low.

Ethereum Price Long-Term Analysis: Bullish

Ethereum bulls have earlier broken the resistance levels of $2,544 and $2,600 which has earlier impeded the uptrend since April 15. Buyers have pushed the biggest altcoin twice to retest the $2,800 resistance but have been repelled. 

Ethereum is now in a range-bound move below the resistance. Further upward move is likely as the price consolidates below $2,800. A consolidation near a resistance increases the chances of a breakout. On the upside, if a breakout occurs, Ether's next target price will be at the $3,400 high. On the other hand, if buyers fail to breach the recent high, the altcoin will be compelled to a range-bound movement.
