Ethereum Price Dives Below $3,800<\/h2>\n

Ethereum price struggled to stay above the $3,880 level and started a fresh decline like Bitcoin<\/a>. ETH gained bearish momentum below the $3,800 level and dived below $3,680.<\/p>\n

It even dived below $3,600 and spiked below the $3,550 level. A low was formed at $3,543 and the price is now consolidating losses<\/a>. There is also a new connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,800 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD.<\/p>\n

Ethereum price is now trading below $3,620 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,670 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $4,105 swing high to the $3,537 low.<\/p>\n

The first major resistance is near the $3,800 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $4,107 swing high to the $3,837 low.<\/p>\n

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

The main resistance is now forming near $3,880. A clear move above the $3,880 resistance might send the price toward the $4,000 resistance. An upside break above the $4,000 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,150 resistance zone or even $4,220.<\/p>\n

More Losses In ETH?<\/h2>\n

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,680 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,550 level. The first major support sits near the $3,500 zone.<\/p>\n

A clear move below the $3,500 support might push the price toward the $3,450 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,350 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,220.<\/p>\n
