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. However, the bears are active near the $2,240 resistance. They defended the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,480 swing high to the $2,165 low. 
Ethereum is now trading below $2,240 and the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/eth/ethereum-price-plunge-to-2k-imminent-as-key-support-line-crumbles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">100-hourly Simple Moving Average</a>. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $2,240 level. 
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.
