Ethereum Price Eyes More Upsides

Ethereum price remained well-bid above the $3,670 support zone. ETH formed a base and recently started a fresh increase above $3,720 beating Bitcoin. The bulls were able to push the price above the $3,780 resistance.

There was a clear move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,956 swing high to the $3,680 low. Besides, there was a break above a short-term bearish trend line with resistance at $3,870 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum price is now trading above $3,780 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,890 level. It is near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,956 swing high to the $3,680 low.

Ethereum Price

The first major resistance is near the $3,950 level. The main resistance is now forming near $3,980. A clear move above the $3,980 resistance might send the price toward the $4,000 resistance. An upside break above the $4,000 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,050 resistance zone or even $4,120.

Another Pullback In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,890 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,820 level. The first major support sits near the $3,775 zone.

A clear move below the $3,775 support might push the price toward the $3,720 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,650 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,620.
