Ethereum Price Fails Again
Ethereum price started a decent recovery wave above the $3,800 resistance, like Bitcoin. ETH price surpassed the $3,880 and $3,980 levels to enter a short-term positive zone.
The price even cleared the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $4,292 swing high to the $3,677 low. However, the bears remained active near the $4,080 resistance zone and prevented an upside continuation.
The price failed to settle above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $4,292 swing high to the $3,677 low. There was a fresh decline below $4,000. Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $3,960 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Ethereum price is now trading below $3,960 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $3,980 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,050 level. The first major resistance is near the $4,080 level.

A clear move above the $4,080 resistance might send the price toward the $4,120 resistance. An upside break above the $4,120 region might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,220 resistance zone or even $4,250 in the near term.
Downside Break In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,980 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,860 level. The first major support sits near the $3,840 zone.
A clear move below the $3,840 support might push the price toward the $3,820 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,680 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,620.
