Ethereum price aims for greater profits

The price broke above the $2,700 level and tested $2,765. The high was reached at $2,765 and the price is currently consolidating its increases.

Ethereum price is currently trading above $2,650 and the 100-hour straightforward moving average. A key bullish trendline is also forming on the hourly chart of ETH/USD with support near $2,680.

On the other hand, the price seems to be facing some headwinds near the $2,750 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,765 level.

Another ETH drop?

If Ethereum fails to break the resistance at $2,750, another decline could begin. Initial downside support is near the $2,720 level. The first major support is located near the $2,680 zone and the trend line.
