Ethereum saw some whipsaw-like price movement today after it dropped by around 9% before recovering. All this took place on the day of the long-awaited Phase 0 launch of Ethereum 2.0.

ETH/USD – Ethereum Whipsaw Swing Sees $560 Before Rebounding

Key Support Levels: $580, $560, $550.
Key Resistance Levels: $620, $650, $665.

Earlier today, Ethereum spiked lower by around 9% when it dropped from the resistance at $620 to break beneath $600 and reach $560. There, it found support at the .236 Fib Retracement level and rebounded to climb back above $600 and hit $607. It has since dropped back beneath $600 as it trades around $590. Interestingly enough, all of this coincided with the launch of Phase 0 of Ethereum 2.0.

The next level of resistance to break lies at $620, which caused problems for the market earlier in November.
