Ethereum Price Eyes Fresh Increase

The price even traded below $2,900. However, the bulls were again active near the $2,860 support zone. A low was formed at $2,860 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is slowly moving higher above the $2,885 level.

The trend line is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,992 swing high to the $2,860 low.

The next key resistance sits at $2,950, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $3,000 level. If there is a clear move above the $3,000 level, the price might rise and test the $3,050 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $3,150 resistance zone.
Another Drop In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,925 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,880 level.
The first major support is near the $2,860 zone. The next support is near the $2,810 level. A clear move below the $2,810 support might push the price toward $2,740. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,650 level in the near term.
