The next resistance sits at $2,420. Any more gains could start a wave toward the $2,500 level, above which Ethereum might rally and test the $2,550 zone.

Another Rejection in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,265 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,220 level and the 100 hourly SMA.

 

The first key support could be the $2,180 zone and the trend line. A downside break and a close below $2,180 might send the price further lower. In the stated case, Ether could revisit the $2,120 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,000 level in the coming sessions.

UBS further lowers South Korean stock target! Exchange rates and profit expectations under pressure, recovery expected in 2027

UBS has lowered its KOSPI target for South Korea for the second time this year, cutting it from 8,000 to 7,500 points. Key pressures include a 15% appreciation of the Korean won, continued EPS downgrades, and net foreign outflows of over 19 billion Korean won in October. However, UBS emphasizes that this is a "profit reset" driven by exchange rates rather than a downward cycle and remains optimistic about a recovery in 2027, with an upside target of 9,300 points.
