Key Ethereum Levels to Watch — February 28
Over the weekend, ETH fell into a sideways pattern as it struggled to plant a healthy footing above the $2,800 top. After a prolonged failure to achieve this move, the cryptocurrency refreshed its bearish momentum after falling to the $2.570 support again on Sunday.
That said, the second-largest cryptocurrency appears to have regained a mild bullish tone this morning as bulls fight to take the 4-hour 50 SMA at the $2,650 support. With the current bullish tone in the broader market, we could see a healthy rebound to $2,750 – $2,800 axis over the coming hours and days.
Meanwhile, my resistance levels are $2,650, $2,750, and $2,800, and my support levels are $2,570, $2,480, and $2,400.
