The first major resistance is near the $2,320 level. A close above the $2,320 level might send Ether toward the $2,360 resistance. The next key resistance is near $2,385 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,465 swing high to the $2,253 low. An upside break above the $2,385 resistance might call for more gains toward the $2,450 resistance zone in the near term.
