It traded to a new all-time high at $2,800 before it started a downside correction. There was a break below the $2,780 and $2,750 levels. Ether is now trading below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,560 swing low to $2,800 high.

The next key support is near the $2,680 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,560 swing low to $2,800 high. Any more losses could lead the price towards the $2,650 support level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
If ether fails to stay above the $2,650 support level and the 100 hourly simple moving average, it could dive towards the $2,580 level.
Fresh Increase in ETH?
If Ethereum remains stable above the channel support and $2,650, it could start a fresh increase. An initial resistance on the upside is near the $2,780 level.
The first major resistance is near the $2,800 level. A clear upside break above the $2,800 level and the channel upper trend line could set the pace for a sharp increase towards the $3,000 resistance zone in the next few sessions.
