Ethereum Price Stays Above The Key Support
Ethereum price started a decent upward move above the $3,240 level but upsides were limited compared to Bitcoin. ETH was able to clear the $3,300 and $3,320 resistance levels to move into a short-term positive zone.
The pair even surged above the $3,350 and $3,400 levels. Finally, it tested the $3,480 zone. A high was formed at $3,473 and recently the price corrected some gains. There was a drop below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,912 swing low to the $3,473 high.
Ethereum price is now trading above $3,280 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It is again rising and trading above $3,300. There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $3,320 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,400 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,420 level. The main resistance is now forming near $3,480. A clear move above the $3,480 resistance might send the price toward the $3,550 resistance.
An upside break above the $3,550 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,650 resistance zone or even $3,720 in the near term.
Downside Correction In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,400 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,280 level. The first major support sits near the $3,200 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,912 swing low to the $3,473 high.
A clear move below the $3,200 support might push the price toward the $3,120 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,050 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,000.
