Ethereum Price Dips To Support
Ethereum price failed to remain stable above $3,300 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price declined below $3,280 and $3,250 to enter a bearish zone.
There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $3,220 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair even declined below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,060 swing low to the $3,402 high. The price finally tested $3,180.
Ethereum price is now trading below $3,250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls can protect more losses below $3,180 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,060 swing low to the $3,402 high, the price could attempt another increase.
Immediate resistance is seen near the $3,230 level. The first key resistance is near the $3,250 level. The next major resistance is near the $3,280 level. A clear move above the $3,280 resistance might send the price toward the $3,320 resistance. An upside break above the $3,320 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,400 resistance zone or even $3,450 in the near term.
More Losses In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,250 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,200 level. The first major support sits near the $3,180 zone.
A clear move below the $3,180 support might push the price toward the $3,120 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,050 region. The main support could be $3,000.
