Ethereum Price Pullback Deepens: Bulls Struggle to Hold Support

The Ethereum price didn’t manage to break through the $3,400 barrier, instead, it experienced further declines. Right now, Ethereum seems to be facing challenges and may potentially drop more if it remains under $3,400.

  • Ethereum started a fresh decline from the $3,400 zone.
  • The price is trading below $3,350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,300 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could struggle to start a fresh increase above the $3,300 resistance level.

Ethereum Price Extend Losses

The cost of Ethereum didn’t manage to initiate an upward trend surpassing the $3,400 mark and instead continued to lose value, much like Bitcoin. The price of Ethereum fell below the $3,350 and $3,320 support levels.

The price of ETH dropped significantly below $3,250 and $3,220, reaching a new low at $3,159. Currently, the price is holding steady just below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent downward trend from the peak at $3,742 to the trough at $3,159. Furthermore, an ascending bearish trend line is forming, with resistance at $3,300 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Currently, Ethereum’s trading price has dipped under $3,320 and is also below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. On the positive side, the price appears to be encountering obstacles around the $3,300 mark as well as the trend line.

As a researcher analyzing market trends, I’ve noticed that a significant resistance point is emerging around the $3,450 mark. This resistance level is not only a psychological barrier but also coincides with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,742 swing high to the $3,159 low. Overcoming this resistance at $3,450 could potentially propel the price upward, possibly reaching the $3,500 resistance zone.

If Ether manages to surge past its current resistance at around $3,500, it might indicate further growth in the upcoming trading periods. In this scenario, we might see Ethereum moving towards the $3,550 or even $3,650 resistance levels in the short term.

More Losses In ETH?

As I analyze the current market trends of Ethereum, if it fails to surpass the $3,300 resistance, a potential downturn might ensue. In such a scenario, initial support could be found around the $3,200 mark. However, a more significant level of support can be expected near $3,160.

If the price falls significantly below $3,160, it could potentially drop towards the $3,080 support. Further declines may lead to the $3,050 support level approaching soon. The crucial support lies at $3,000 in the near future.
