Ethereum Price Resistance

There was also a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last downside move from the $702 high to $570 low. However, the upside move was capped by a major resistance near the $620 level.
The mentioned $620 level was a tiny support earlier, and now it acted as a resistance. Moreover, the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last downside move from the $702 high to $570 low also acted as a major resistance.
