There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $3,000 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The next major hurdle is near the $3,120 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,425 swing high to the $2,860 low.

Ethereum Price

A close above the $3,120 level might send Ether toward the $3,200 resistance. The next key resistance is near $3,250. An upside break above the $3,250 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,350 resistance zone.

More Losses In ETH?
