Ethereum Price Stuck Near $3K, Indicators Show Risk of Downside Break

Ethereum

Ethereum price is still facing many hurdles near $3,200. ETH could start another major decline if the price stays below $3,200 and $3,280.

Ethereum Price Consolidates

Ethereum price found support and attempted a recovery wave above the $3,000 resistance zone. ETH was able to climb above the $3,200 level. However, the bears were active near the $3,280 resistance zone.

A high was formed at $3,278 and the price reacted to the downside, like Bitcoin. It dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,536 swing low to the $3,278 high. Ethereum is now trading below $3,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

Immediate resistance is near the $3,100 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,120 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The first major resistance is near the $3,200 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

The next key resistance sits at $3,280, above which the price might rise toward the $3,350 level. The key hurdle could be $3,500, above which Ether could gain bullish momentum. In the stated case, the price could rise toward the $3,620 zone. If there is a move above the $3,620 resistance, Ethereum could even climb toward the $3,750 resistance.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,200 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,000 level.

The first major support is near the $2,900 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,536 swing low to the $3,278 high. The next key support could be the $2,710 zone. A clear move below the $2,710 support might send the price toward $2,650. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,550 level.
