Ethereum Price Trims Gains
Ethereum price failed to continue higher above $3,300 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below $3,240 and $3,220 to enter a short-term bearish zone.
There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $3,200 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair even dipped below $3,150. A low was formed at $3,123, and the price is now consolidating losses. It tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,308 swing high to the $3,123 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $3,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls can protect more losses below $3,120, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $3,180 level.
The first key resistance is near the $3,200 level. The next major resistance is near the $3,220 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,308 swing high to the $3,123 low.
A clear move above the $3,220 resistance might send the price toward the $3,250 resistance. An upside break above the $3,250 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,300 resistance zone or even $3,320 in the near term.
More Losses In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,220 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,120 level. The first major support sits near the $3,080 zone.
A clear move below the $3,080 support might push the price toward the $3,020 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,000 region.
