Ethereum Price Faces Crucial Test: Will $3,200 Withstand The Pressure?

As an observer with a background in financial markets and experience in analyzing cryptocurrency price movements, I see Ethereum’s price action trying to bounce back above the $3,125 support zone. However, it is currently facing resistance at the $3,200 level and has yet to clear this hurdle to continue its upward trend.

Ethereum Price Faces Resistance

I’ve analyzed the Ethereum market, and it’s clear that its price faced significant challenges in regaining ground and dipped below the $3,100 mark. The lowest point reached was $3,074. Now, Ethereum is making another attempt to rebound, much like Bitcoin does in similar situations.

The price surpassed the $3,125 mark for a small rise, also exceeding the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level following the recent decline from the peak of $3,292 to the trough of $3,074. Nevertheless, bears remain vigilant in the vicinity of $3,200 resistance.

Currently, Ethereum’s price hovers around $3,140 and falls below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average, which is now at approximately $3,180. A significant rising trendline, acting as support, emerges on the hourly chart of ETH/USD, with a key level at $3,140. Ethereum’s next resistance lies near the $3,180 mark and the 100-hour Simple Moving Average.

A significant obstacle to further price advancement can be found around the $3,200 mark or the point where the market has retraced 61.8% of its recent downturn from the peak of $3,292 to the trough of $3,074.

Ethereum Price Faces Crucial Test: Will $3,200 Withstand The Pressure?

The next key resistance sits at $3,240, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $3,280 level. A close above the $3,280 resistance could send the price toward the $3,350 resistance. If there is a move above the $3,350 resistance, Ethereum could even test the $3,500 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $3,550 resistance zone.

More Downsides In ETH?

Should Ethereum be unable to surpass the $3,180 barrier, there’s a possibility it may continue its descent. A preliminary floor can be found around $3,125. The primary support lies in the vicinity of $3,075.

If the price holds around $3,030 as a significant support, a significant drop below this point could lead to further declines, potentially pushing the price down to $2,880. Further losses might then take the price even closer to $2,750 in the short term.
