There was a move above the $2,200 resistance level. Besides, there was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance near $2,235 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

The next hurdle could be $2,300 or the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average, above which the price might rise and test the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,480 swing high to the $2,165 low at $2,320. The next major resistance is now near $2,360.
