With Ether currently facing significant resistance around $3,725, a breakthrough above this level could ignite a bullish trend for the cryptocurrency.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum is unable to surpass the $3,610 mark, there’s a possibility it may head lower instead. A potential floor in its decline can be found around $3,475.

An initial significant support lies around the $3,420 mark or the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement point of the price rise from the $3,224 trough to the $3,726 low. The following crucial support could be at $3,340. A notable break below the $3,340 support may push the price downward towards $3,240. Further declines might lead the price to test the $3,120 level.
