Ethereum Price Drops Below $3,650
Ethereum price struggled to start a fresh increase above the $3,680 level and extended losses like Bitcoin. ETH gained bearish momentum below the $3,650 level and dived below $3,600.
It even dived below $3,550 and spiked below the $3,420 level. A low was formed at $3,324 and the price is now consolidating losses. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,650 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Ethereum price is now trading below $3,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,510 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $4,105 swing high to the $3,324 low.
The first major resistance is near the $3,650 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,650 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The main resistance is now forming near $3,715 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $4,105 swing high to the $3,324 low. A clear move above the $3,715 resistance might send the price toward the $3,800 resistance. An upside break above the $3,800 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,880 resistance zone or even $4,000.
More Losses In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,650 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,350 level. The first major support sits near the $3,320 zone.
A clear move below the $3,320 support might push the price toward the $3,250 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,150 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,050.
