NEWSBTC
Ethereum price failed to settle above the $4,000 zone. ETH is
correcting gains and might struggle to stay above the $3,820
support zone. Ethereum started a downside correction from the
$4,100 zone. The price is trading below $3,980 and the 100-hourly
Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a key bullish trend
line with support at $3,940 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data
feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if it fails
to stay above the $2,820 support zone. Ethereum Price Fails Again
Ethereum price struggled to stay above the $4,000 level and
underperformed Bitcoin. ETH started a fresh decline and traded
below the $4,000 support zone. There was a move below the $3,980
and $3,940 support levels. Besides, there was a break below a key
bullish trend line with support at $3,940 on the hourly chart of
ETH/USD. The pair even dipped below the $3,850 level. A low was
formed at $3,837 and the price is now consolidating losses.
Ethereum price is now trading below $3,920 and the 100-hourly
Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing
hurdles near the $3,900 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib
retracement level of the downward move from the $4,107 swing high
to the $3,837 low. The first major resistance is near the $3,970
level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from
the $4,107 swing high to the $3,837 low. The main resistance is now
forming near $4,000. A clear move above the $4,000 resistance might
send the price toward the $4,120 resistance. An upside break above
the $4,120 resistance might call for more gains in the coming
sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,250
resistance zone or even $4,320. More Losses In ETH? If Ethereum
fails to clear the $3,900 resistance, it could continue to move
down. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,820 level. The
first major support sits near the $3,780 zone. A clear move below
the $3,780 support might push the price toward the $3,650 support.
Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,550 support
level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,500.
