The first major resistance is near the $4,385 level. A clear move above the $4,385 resistance might send the price toward the $4,420 resistance. An upside break above the $4,420 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,500 resistance zone or even $4,550 in the near term.<\/p>\n<h2>More Downside In ETH?<\/h2>\n<p>If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,340 resistance, it could start a fresh decline.
