Ethereum Price Aims Higher
Ethereum price started a recovery wave above the $3,050 level like Bitcoin. ETH was able to clear the $3,080 and $3,120 resistance levels to move into a short-term positive zone.
The price even cleared the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,334 swing high to the $2,920 low. However, the bears are active near the $3,220 and $3,240 levels. There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with resistance at $3,240 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Ethereum price is now trading just above $3,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,230 level. It is near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,334 swing high to the $2,920 low. The first major resistance is near the $3,240 level.
The main resistance is now forming near $3,330. A clear move above the $3,330 resistance might send the price toward the $3,450 resistance. An upside break above the $3,450 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,500 resistance zone or even $3,550 in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,240 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,180 level. The first major support sits near the $3,120.
A clear move below the $3,120 support might push the price toward the $3,050 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,020 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,920.
