Ethereum Price Attempts Recovery
Ethereum price failed to continue higher above $3,200 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below $3,150 and entered a bearish zone.
The decline gathered pace below $3,050 and the price dipped below $3,000. A low was formed at $2,941 and the price is now correcting some losses. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,217 swing high to the $2,941 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $3,120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is another recovery wave, the price could face resistance near the $3,150 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,217 swing high to the $2,941 low. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,150 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The next key resistance is near the $3,220 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,250 level. A clear move above the $3,250 resistance might send the price toward the $3,320 resistance. An upside break above the $3,320 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.
Another Decline In ETH?

A clear move below the $3,020 support might push the price toward the $2,950 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,880 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,750 and $2,740.
