The price of Ethereum (ETH) has surged as the altcoin has risen above the $2,400 resistance line. Price analysis by Coinidol.com.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: bullish

Buyers have broken above the resistance line for the first time and the positive momentum has continued since December 7. The rise reached a high of $2,685 but was halted at the $2,700 resistance zone. The largest altcoin is currently trading at $2,612 after a slight decline. The current rise suggests that Ether is poised for its uptrend as the cryptocurrency falls below its recent high. Ether's brief pullback above the $2,570 support level has come to an end.

Ether is rising and buyers are defending the existing support. If Ether breaks through the $2,700 resistance, it will take another upswing to the $3,000 psychological mark. The altcoin is currently oscillating below the $2,700 resistance level.
