Downsides Are Likely To Be Limited in ETHIf Ethereum fails to clear the $488 resistance or the $500 barrier, it could start a major downside correction. The first key support is near the trend line and the $460 level.
A clear break below the $460 support and the trend line might lead the price towards the $450 level. The next key support is near the $438 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
