On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $2,980 level. The next key resistance is near the $3,000 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,040 level. A clear move above the $3,040 resistance might send the price toward the $3,080 resistance.

Are Downsides Supported In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,000 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,940 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,905 swing low to the $3,081 high. The first major support sits near the $2,900 zone.
A clear move below the $2,900 support might push the price toward the $2,800 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,720 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,650.
