There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $2,560 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair declined below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2,488 swing low to the $2,719 high. The bears even pushed the price below $2,550.

On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,550 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,580 level. The main resistance is now forming near $2,610. A clear move above the $2,610 resistance might send the price toward the $2,650 resistance.
