Immediate resistance is near the $3,165 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,200 level. The next key resistance lies at $3,250, above which the price could gain ground and reach the $3,350 level. If the bulls stay in action and push the price above $3,350, there could be a drift towards the $3,500 resistance. Any further gains could send Ether towards the $3,620 resistance zone.
Another drop in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to breach the $3,165 resistance, it could begin a further decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,100 level and the trendline. The first major support lies near the $3,000 area or the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $2,813 low to $3,168 high.
The main support is near the $2,940 level. A sharp move below the $2,940 support could push the price towards $2,820. Any further losses could push the price towards the $2,650 level in the near term.
