Ethereum Price Dips Further
Ethereum price failed to continue higher above $3,050 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below $3,000 and entered a bearish zone.
The decline gathered pace below $2,880 and the price dipped below $2,800. A low was formed at $2,770 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,058 swing high to the $2,770 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $3,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is another recovery wave, the price could face resistance near the $2,920 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,058 swing high to the $2,770 low.
The next key resistance is near the $2,950 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,050 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,050 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. A clear move above the $3,050 resistance might send the price toward the $3,120 resistance. An upside break above the $3,120 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,220 resistance zone or even $3,250 in the near term.
Another Drop In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,920 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,770 level. The first major support sits near the $2,740 zone.
A clear move below the $2,740 support might push the price toward the $2,680 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,620 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,550 and $2,500.
