Ethereum price started a steady increase above $4,320. ETH is now consolidating and might aim for more gains if it clears the $4,400 resistance.
Besides, there was a break above a key contracting triangle with resistance at $4,180 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The price even spiked toward $4,400 and might continue to rise. A high is formed at $4,400 and the price is still stable above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $4,093 swing low to the $4,400 high.
The first major resistance is near the $4,500 level. A clear move above the $4,500 resistance might send the price toward the $4,550 resistance. An upside break above the $4,650 region might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,720 resistance zone or even $4,800 in the near term.
If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,400 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,320 level. The first major support sits near the $4,250 zone.
A clear move below the $4,250 support might push the price toward the $4,200 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $4,120 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $4,050.
