Key Support Levels: $2545, $2400, $2320.
Key Resistance Levels: $2725, $2890, $3000.
Etheruem saw an incredible 18% surge this week as it climbs inside the confines of an ascending price channel. The cryptocurrency broke above a descending trend line toward the end of last week and pushed above the 100-day MA level yesterday to hit $2600 today.
