Ethereum Finds Support above $2,400, Shows No Strength above $2,600

Ethereum (ETH) is falling after retesting the $2,600 resistance zone. Buyers have been struggling to break above the $2,600 high since January 26.

Bulls have a difficult task ahead to resume the uptrend as they need to overcome the resistance zones between $2,600 and $2,800. Once the resistance zones are overcome, the market will rally to $3,200. 

The largest altcoin continues its downward movement after rejecting the recent high. Bears may push the altcoin to the low of $2,300 if selling pressure continues. However, if Ether loses the $2,300 support, the market will continue to fall to a low of $1,721. This is because the largest altcoin has been trading in a range between $2,300 and $2,600 since the January 22 plunge. At press time, Ether is trading at $2,512.40.
