Ethereum Price Starts Consolidation<\/h2>\n

Ethereum price failed to surpass $3,150 and trimmed gains, like Bitcoin<\/a>. ETH price declined below $3,120 and $3,120 to enter a short-term bearish zone.<\/p>\n

The last major swing low was formed at $3,050 before the price started a consolidation phase<\/a>. There was a minor upward move above $3,130, and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,308 swing high to the $3,050 low.<\/p>\n

However, the bears are active near $3,150 and $3,180. Ethereum price is now trading below $3,120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support at $3,085 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD.<\/p>\n

If the bulls can protect more losses below $3,080, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $3,120 level. The first key resistance is near the $3,180 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,308 swing high to the $3,050 low.<\/p>\n

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

The next major resistance is near the $3,200 level. A clear move above the $3,200 resistance might send the price toward the $3,265 resistance. An upside break above the $3,265 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,320 resistance zone or even $3,350 in the near term.<\/p>\n

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

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,150 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,085 level and the trend line. The first major support sits near the $3,050 zone.<\/p>\n

A clear move below the $3,050 support might push the price toward the $3,000 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,925 region.<\/p>\n
