Ethereum Heating Up — But Can It Handle the Pressure at $3K?

 Ethereum price gained support around $2,320 and began a new climb.  ETH is presently gaining and can try for a breakthrough over the $2,650 barrier zone.

 Ethereum began a good climb over the $2,450 and $2,500 levels.

 The price is over $2,500 and the 100-hour SMA.

 ETH/USD's hourly chart broke above a bearish trend line with resistance at $2,530.

 If it breaks $2,650, the pair may strengthen.

 Ethereum Price Rises

 Ethereum corrected below $2,450, unlike Bitcoin.  ETH traded below $2,400 and $2,350.  However, bulls were active at $2,300.

 Price rose after a low of $2,308.  Prices rose over $2,450 and $2,500.  The price broke the 61.8% Fib retracement barrier of the $2,583 swing high to $2,308 low decline.

 On the hourly ETH/USD chart, a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $2,530 broke.  Ethereum is over $2,540 and the 100-hour SMA.  The price is also above the 76.4% Fib retracement of the $2,583 swing high to $2,308 low decline.

 Price may find resistance at $2,580 on the upside.  Around $2,600 is the next major resistance.  Near $2,650 is the first substantial resistance.  A clean break over $2,650 might push the price above $2,720.

 Above $2,720 barrier might lead to greater advances in the following sessions.  Ether may rise to $2,780 or $2,840 in the short term.

 Another ETH drop?

 Ethereum may fall again if it fails to break $2,650.  Around $2,520 is first downside support.  First significant support is around $2,450.
