Ethereum Breaks $2,000 Psychological Price Level, Eyes $2,500 High

Finally, Ether bulls have broken the $2000 overhead resistance after several attempts. This is on the basis that the bullish momentum is sustained.

The previous breakout on February 20 was a partial breakout as price slumped to a downward correction for over a month. The recent breakout was a result of price consolidating near a resistance zone. As buyers pushed Ether above the $2,000 overhead resistance, the next target price is in the region of $2,500. Presently, the biggest altcoin is approaching a high of $2,200. However, it is not expected of price to turn from the recent high as the bullish momentum is sustained. ETH, the biggest altcoin, is facing resistance at the high of $2,200. If the resistance is cleared the target price will be achieved.
