The main resistance sits near the $1,400 level. A clear break above $1,400 might start a decent increase towards the $1,450 level. Any more gains may perhaps open the doors for a move towards the $1,500 resistance.

Fresh Decline in ETH?

If ethereum fails to rise above the $1,350 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average, it could start a fresh decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,300 zone.
