Ethereum Price Stuck In A Range

Ethereum price started a decent upward move above the $3,300 level but upsides were limited compared to Bitcoin. ETH failed to gain pace for a close above $3,450 and corrected gains.

There was a move below the $3,320 and $3,300 support levels. A low was formed at $3,203 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor increase above the $3,240 level. The price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $3,444 swing high to the $3,203 low.

Ethereum price is now trading below $3,300 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,260 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,320 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $3,444 swing high to the $3,203 low.

The main resistance is now forming near $3,350. There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with resistance at $3,370 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. A clear move above the $3,370 resistance might send the price toward the $3,450 resistance.

Ethereum Price

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.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,325 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,200 level. The first major support sits near the $3,150.

A clear move below the $3,150 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.
