Ethereum Price Struggle Continues
Ethereum price failed to start a recovery wave above the $3,550 and $3,580 resistance levels, like Bitcoin. ETH remained in a short-term bearish zone and extended losses below the $3,500 level.
The price declined below the $3,450 support level. A low was formed at $3,428 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor increase above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,655 swing high to the $3,428 low.
Ethereum is still trading below $3,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a crucial bearish trend line forming with resistance near $3,550 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. If there is a fresh increase, the price might face resistance near the $3,540 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,655 swing high to the $3,428 low.
The first major resistance is near the $3,550 level and the trend line. An upside break above the $3,550 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance sits at $3,650, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $3,720 level.
A clear move above the $3,720 level might send Ether toward the $3,800 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $3,880 resistance zone.
