Ethereum Price Could Accelerate Losses

There was a fresh bearish reaction and there was a break below a key contracting triangle with support near $340 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair is currently trading just below $340 and facing an increase in selling pressure.
If the price continues to move down, there is a risk of more losses below the $331 low and $330. The next major support is near the $320 level, below which the price may even retest the $310 support.
Upsides Capped in ETH?
If Ethereum starts a fresh recovery wave, it could face hurdles near the $350 level. The first major resistance is near the $355 level (the last key breakdown zone).
A successful close above the $355 resistance might push ether further higher. In the stated case, there are chances of a decent recovery above the $365 and $370 levels in the coming sessions.
