Ethereum Price Eyes Fresh Upward Move

Ethereum price failed to clear the $3,800 resistance zone and corrected some gains like Bitcoin. ETH declined below the $3,650 and $3,600 support levels. It even retested the $3,550 support level.

A low was formed at $3,557 and the price is now attempting a fresh increase. There was a move above the $3,600 and $3,620 levels. The price tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,762 swing high to the $3,557 low.

Ethereum price is now trading above $3,600 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,650 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,650 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

The first major resistance is near the $3,685 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,762 swing high to the $3,557 low. The main resistance is now forming near $3,750.

A clear move above the $3,750 resistance might send the price toward the $3,800 resistance. An upside break above the $3,800 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,880 resistance zone or even $3,920.

Another Slide In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,650 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,600 level. The first major support sits near the $3,580 zone.

A clear move below the $3,580 support might push the price toward the $3,550 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,440 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,350.
