(MENAFN- crypto Breaking)
Struggling to maintain upward momentum above the $3,220 mark, the price of Ethereum is currently consolidating losses and may encounter obstacles near the $3,220 threshold.
Initiating a new descent beneath the $3,120 territory, Ethereum finds itself trading under $3,180 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
Marking a significant development, a bearish trend line is shaping up with a barrier at $3,220 on the hourly ETH /USD chart sourced via Kraken .
If Ethereum remains below the $3,200 level, there is a likelihood of a further downturn.
Ethereum Price Struggles Against Resistance
Following a downtrend below the $3,220 and $3,180 levels, similar to Bitcoin , Ethereum dipped below $3,050 prior to a bullish resurgence.
After hitting a low at $3,021, a slight recovery ensued with a breach above the $3,120 and $3,150 thresholds. Surpassing the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the previous downward movement from $3,425 to $3,020, the price exhibited a moderate uptick.
Yet, encountering resistance at $3,200, Ethereum now lingers below this level alongside the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average, with a prominent bearish trend line impediment at $3,220 on the hourly chart for ETH /USD.
Significant hindrances appear near the $3,180 mark, leading up to the primary obstacle at $3,200 along with the trend line. The pivotal resistance now emerges around $3,220, coupled with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the recent high to low.
A decisive breach above the $3,220 barrier could propel the price towards the $3,320 resistance and potentially trigger further uptrends in subsequent sessions. In such a scenario, Ether might ascend towards the $3,450 to $3,500 levels in the short term.
Potential Reversal for ETH?
If Ethereum fails to surpass the $3,200 resistance, a fresh downturn may ensue. Initial support is anticipated near $3,075, with a major support level existing at $3,050.
A clear breakdown below $3,050 could lead to a descent towards $3,020, and further declines might drive the price towards the $3,000 and $2,950 support thresholds in the immediate future.
