Ethereum price remains at risk of more downsides
Ethereum price failed to initiate a recovery wave above the USD 3,080 and USD 3,120 resistance levels. ETH started to drop below the $3,000 support zone again, as did Bitcoin. There was a move below the USD 2,950 and USD 2,920 support levels.
The price fell 6% and even tested the USD 2,820 support. A low was formed at $2,825 and the price is now consolidating losses. The price is showing many bearish signs, testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,077 swing high to the $2,825 low.
Ethereum is trading below $3,000 and the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. If a recovery wave comes, the price may encounter resistance near the $2,920 level. The first major resistance is around the $2,950 level.
There is also a major bearish trendline forming with resistance around $2,950 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trendline is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,077 swing high to the $2,825 low.
The next major hurdle is near the USD 3,000 level. A close above the USD 3,000 level could send Ether towards the USD 3,080 resistance. The next major resistance is near USD 3,120. An upside break above the USD 3,120 resistance could send the price higher towards the USD 3,250 resistance zone.
