Ethereum Price Stays Above The Key Support

The pair even surged above the $3,350 and $3,400 levels. Finally, it tested the $3,480 zone. A high was formed at $3,473 and recently the price corrected some gains. There was a drop below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,912 swing low to the $3,473 high.

On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,400 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,420 level. The main resistance is now forming near $3,480. A clear move above the $3,480 resistance might send the price toward the $3,550 resistance.

Downside Correction In ETH?

A clear move below the $3,200 support might push the price toward the $3,120 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,050 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,000.
