Ethereum Price Dips Again
Ethereum price started a fresh increase above the $2,950 and $2,960 levels, like Bitcoin. ETH even cleared the $3,000 level before the bears appeared near $3,040.
A new weekly high was formed at $3,039 and the price recently started a downside correction. There was a move below the $3,000 level. Ether dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,860 swing low to the $3,039 high.
Ethereum is now trading below $2,960 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. However, the bulls are active near the $2,925 support and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,860 swing low to the $3,039 high.
Immediate resistance is near the $2,960 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,965 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The first major resistance is near the $3,000 level. An upside break above the $3,000 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance sits at $3,050, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $3,150 level. If there is a clear move above the $3,150 level, the price might rise and test the $3,220 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $3,350 resistance zone.
More Losses In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,965 resistance and the trend line, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,925 level.
The next major support is near the $2,900 zone. A clear move below the $2,900 support might push the price toward $2,850. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,740 level in the near term.
