Breaking Support Levels for Ethereum Price

Following a high at $3,361, a downward movement ensued. The price dropped below the $3,250 and $3,220 support levels, with a significant break below the contracting triangle support at $3,270 on the hourly ETH/USD chart.
Currently, Ethereum is consolidating after hitting a low of $3,201, trading below $3,300 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Resistance is apparent near the $3,280 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent downward move.
Key resistance levels to watch include $3,300, $3,350, and the critical hurdle at $3,350 for potential further gains in ETH price.
A breakthrough above $3,350 could push the price towards $3,450, potentially leading to more gains in upcoming sessions, with levels around $3,550 and $3,580 within reach.
Potential Downside for Ethereum
If Ethereum fails to breach the $3,300 resistance level, a downward trend may resume. Initial support lies at $3,200, followed by major support near $3,150.
A significant drop below $3,150 could trigger a decline towards $3,120. Further losses might drive the price towards $3,050 in the short term, with a critical support level at $3,000.
