Ethereum Price Eyes Upside Break

The cost of Ethereum made another attempt to rise past the $3,550 barrier, and it succeeded in reaching over $3,600. However, just like Bitcoin, the advancement was capped. A peak price of $3,614 was reached before the value retreated from these gains.

The price dipped below $3,500 and reached a low of $3,476. However, it has since bounced back and is now climbing above $3,500 once more. We also observed an advance beyond the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement mark in the recent downward trend from the peak of $3,614 to the trough of $3,476.

Furthermore, a new bearish trendline is emerging on the hourly chart for ETH/USD, with resistance at $3,550.

Ethereum Price Faces Crucial Test, Can ETH Clear This Hurdle To Kickstart Rally?

The Ether price encounters its first significant resistance around $3,620. Following this, at $3,650 lies the next notable resistance. Overcoming this resistance may lead the price to attempt testing the $3,720 mark. A major obstacle could be present at $3,750, surpassing which would give Ethereum the potential for a strong uptrend. In such a scenario, the price could advance towards the $3,820 region. Should the price breach the resistance at $3,820, Ethereum might aim even higher, targeting the $4,000 resistance level.

Another Rejection In ETH?

Should Ethereum be unable to surpass the $3,550 barrier, there’s a risk of another price drop. The minimum support lies around $3,500.

The price may find its initial significant resistance around $3,475. If it falls further, the $3,420 mark could act as the next support. A decisive drop below the $3,420 support might push the price down to $3,320. Any additional declines could potentially lead the price to the $3,240 region.
