Ethereum price reaches support
Ethereum price, like Bitcoin, started to rise again above the USD 3.1200 resistance. ETH was able to climb above the USD 3,220 and USD 3,320 resistance levels to move further into a positive zone.
It even rose above the USD 3,400 level and traded to a new monthly high. It reached a high of $3,445 before a small pullback. The price fell below the USD 3,320 and USD 3,250 support levels. A low was formed at $3,124 and the price is now consolidating.
Ethereum price is now trading above $3,120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,230 level or the 50% Fib retracement level from the recent decline from the $3,340 swing high to the $3,124 low.
A connecting bearish trendline is also forming with resistance at $3,240 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The first major resistance is around the $3,260 level. The main resistance is now forming around $3,320. A clear move above the USD 3,320 resistance could send the price towards the USD 3,450 resistance.
An upside break above the USD 3,450 resistance could fuel more gains in the coming sessions. In the mentioned case, Ether could rise towards the USD 3,550 resistance zone.
