Ethereum Faces Rejection at $670, Resumes Downward Move

Following its impressive runs in the last 48 hours, Ethereum faces rejection at the $680 resistance zone. The rejection was caused by a long wick on the daily candlestick which indicates strong selling pressure at a higher price level.

After the rejection, the crypto has been fluctuating between $620 and $670 for a possible resumption of the upward move but the bears took charge as the $620 support was broken. 

On the downside, the current decline will extend to the low of either $580 or $540. If Ether finds support above those support levels, then an upward move will resume. Otherwise, the downtrend will continue. On the upside, the bulls failed to break the minor resistance at $670. Hence the downward move. A breakout at $670 would have seen Ether attaining a new high of $838.
