Ethereum price started a fresh decline from $3,480. ETH is struggling to recover and is now at risk of another decline below $3,250.
It seems like the bears defended the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,920 swing high to the $3,058 low. There is also a new bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,380 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The first major resistance is near the $3,480 level. A clear move above the $3,480 resistance might send the price toward the $3,580 resistance and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,920 swing high to the $3,058 low.
An upside break above the $3,580 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,650 resistance zone or even $3,675 in the near term.
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,380 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,250 level. The first major support sits near the $3,220 zone.
A clear move below the $3,220 support might push the price toward the $3,150 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,050 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,020 and $3,000.
