Ethereum Price Fails To Surpass $3,500

Ethereum price made another attempt to clear the $3,500 resistance zone. ETH struggled to continue higher above $3,500 and started a downside correction like Bitcoin. There was a move below the $3,450 and $3,420 levels.

The price even dipped below $3,400 and tested $3,375. A low is formed at $3,376 and the price is consolidating above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,516 swing high to the $3,376 high. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $3,375 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

The first major resistance is near the $3,480 level. The next major hurdle is near the $3,500 level. A close above the $3,500 level might send Ether toward the $3,550 resistance.

The next key resistance is near $3,640. An upside break above the $3,640 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,750 resistance zone in the coming days.
