Ethereum Price Regains Strength
Ethereum price formed a base above the $2,850 level and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin. ETH cleared a few key hurdles near $3,000 to enter a positive zone.
There was a break above two connecting bearish trend lines with resistance at $3,070 and $3,150 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,278 swing high to the $2,867 low.
Ethereum is now trading above $3,120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It is also consolidating above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,278 swing high to the $2,867 low. Immediate resistance is near the $3,200 level.
The first major resistance is near the $3,250 level. The next key resistance sits at $3,280, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $3,350 level.

A close above the $3,350 resistance could send the price toward the $3,420 pivot level. If there is a move above the $3,420 resistance, Ethereum could even climb toward the $3,550 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $3,880 resistance zone in the coming days.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,250 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,150 level. The first major support is near the $3,120 zone and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
A clear move below the $3,120 support might increase selling pressure and send the price toward $3,020. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,965 level in the near term.
