Ethereum Price Fails Near $3,200

Ethereum extended its decline below $3,120, but the bulls were active near $3,075 and $3,080. ETH price traded as low as $3,078 and it recently started an upside correction, similar to bitcoin.

There was a break above the $3,120 and $3,150 resistance levels. Ether surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the main drop from the $3,380 swing high to $3,078 low. The price even spiked above the $3,200 resistance the 100 hourly simple moving average.

However, the price failed to stay above $3,200. It was rejected near the 50% Fib retracement level of the main drop from the $3,380 swing high to $3,078 low. There is also a possible inverse head and shoulders pattern forming with support near $3,150.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $3,200 level. The main resistance is now forming near $3,220 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A clear break above the $3,220 resistance might open the doors for a steady increase. The next key resistance is now forming near the $3,300 level. Any more gains may possibly call for a move towards the $3,380 level in the near term.

More Losses in ETH?

If ethereum fails to continue higher above the $3,200 and $3,220 resistance levels, it could extend its decline. An immediate support on the downside is near the $3,150 level.

The next major support is now forming near the $3,120 zone. A downside break below the $3,120 support zone could accelerate losses. In the stated case, the price may possibly drop towards the $3,080 zone or even $3,020.
