Ethereum Price Aims Recovery
Ethereum price failed to remain stable above $3,050 and extended losses, like Bitcoin. ETH price declined below $3,000 and $2,920 to enter a bearish zone.
The bears even pushed the price below $2,880. The price finally tested $2,865 and is currently consolidating losses. There was a minor upside above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $3,365 swing high to the $2,865 swing low.
Besides, there was a break above a contracting triangle with resistance at $2,950 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading below $3,040 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls can protect more losses below $2,900, the price could attempt another increase.
Immediate resistance is seen near the $3,050 level. The first key resistance is near the $3,110 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $3,365 swing high to the $2,865 swing low. The next major resistance is near the $3,175 level. A clear move above the $3,175 resistance might send the price toward the $3,220 resistance.
An upside break above the $3,220 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,280 resistance zone or even $3,300 in the near term.
Another Drop In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,050 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,910 level. The first major support sits near the $2,880 zone.
A clear move below the $2,880 support might push the price toward the $2,865 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,820 region. The main support could be $2,750.
