Ethereum Price Faces Resistance<\/h2>\n

Ethereum price managed to stay above $2,950 and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin<\/a>. ETH price gained strength for a move above the $3,020 and $3,050 resistance levels.<\/p>\n

However, the bears were active below $3,200. A high was formed at $3,179 and the price is now consolidating<\/a>. There was a minor drop below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2,914 swing low to the $3,179 low.<\/p>\n

Ethereum price is now trading above $3,075 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is another upward move, the price could face resistance near the $3,150 level. There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with resistance at $3,150 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The next key resistance is near the $3,180 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,220 level. A clear move above the $3,220 resistance might send the price toward the $3,350 resistance. An upside break above the $3,350 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,450 resistance zone or even $3,500 in the near term.<\/p>\n

Downside Break In ETH?<\/h2>\n

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,180 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,080 level. The first major support sits near the $3,015 zone and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2,914 swing low to the $3,179 low.<\/p>\n

A clear move below the $3,015 support might push the price toward the $2,975 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,920 region. The next key support sits at $2,840 and $2,820.<\/p>\n
