Ethereum Price Continues to Decline
Despite attempts to recover above $3,500, Ethereum has struggled and faced losses similar to Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency dropped below both $3,450 and $3,400 levels.
The decline led to price levels below $3,350 and then $3,320, establishing a low at $3,213. Currently, Ethereum is consolidating below the 23.6% Fib retracement level, with resistance at $3,340 indicated by a bearish trend line on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Trading under $3,400 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average, Ethereum faces hurdles near $3,350 and the established trend line.
The primary resistance lies near $3,475 or the 50% Fib retracement level, with the main resistance forming at $3,500. A successful breach of the $3,500 resistance could propel the price towards $3,550.
A breakthrough above $3,550 could indicate further gains ahead, potentially pushing Ether towards $3,650 or even $3,720.
Possible Further Losses for Ethereum
If Ethereum struggles to surpass the $3,400 resistance, another decline may ensue. Initial support rests at approximately $3,280, with a significant support level at $3,220.
A decline below $3,220 may lead to a drop towards the $3,150 support level. Further losses could direct the price towards $3,050 in the short term, with a crucial support level at $3,000.
