Today, Ethereum (ETH) resumed its upward movement after the price broke the 21-day line SMA, but could not overcome the resistance at $1,280. This is the second time the altcoin will face rejection at a high of $1,280.
On the first rejection, the altcoin fell to a low of $997 as the bulls bought the dips. If the bulls break the initial resistance, Ether will rise to $2,013.
