Ethereum Fights To Hold ,300 After Bulls Stall At Resistance

Ethereum (ETH) slipped below $2,350 after stalling near $2,400, and traders now watch the $2,360 trendline for the next directional cue.

ETH Price Holds $2,300

Ethereum pared recent gains on Thursday after sellers defended the $2,400 region, capping a rally that had pushed the second-largest cryptocurrency through $2,320 and $2,350. The swing high printed at $2,417 before the pair rolled over.

The correction carried price under $2,320 and into the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the climb from the $2,180 low to that $2,417 peak.

ETH is still trading above $2,300 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

Resistance Levels

A clean break above $2,420 would open a path toward $2,450, with further upside pointing to the $2,500 to $2,550 band in the near term. Failure at $2,360 flips the bias, with $2,295 as first support and $2,265 below it.

The MACD is losing momentum in bullish territory, while the RSI has slipped under 50, signaling fading short-term drive.

The pullback follows a stronger stretch for Ethereum, which gained more than 12% over the past 30 days and outperformed every other top-10 asset. Network activity jumped 41% week over week to roughly 3.6 million daily transactions, and Ethereum ETFs pulled $187 million in weekly inflows as Bitcoin funds bled $325 million on Apr. 13.
