The immediate first target is placed at Friday’s high of $2,835.95.
Further, an acceptance above 50-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $2,912.51 will bring $3,200 in play.
On the flip side, if selling pressure increases, Ethereum’s price may face immediate support at the horizontal support line at $2,425.82.
Next, an additional foothold will emerge at the lows of January 24 at $2,159. Further selling pressure may stimulate the sellers to revisit $1718.41 levels last seen in July, the long-term optimistic outlook may be invalidated.
