Bitcoin’s decline below $63,000 continues to impact the price of Ethereum. Recently, Ethereum encountered resistance at $3,220 and started to correct the momentum it had gained. Currently, breaking through resistance levels at $3,055 and $3,080 could indicate a new upward movement.
Ethereum is currently experiencing a downtrend that has had a significant effect on its price. The price has dropped below $3,100 and is trading below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. The hourly chart of ETH/USD shows a clear downtrend line, indicating resistance below $3,000.
In its current state, it is crucial for Ethereum to stay above the important support level of $3,000. However, the price has tested this support and pulled back to around $3,000. Currently, the price is consolidating around $3,005.
For an upward movement, ETH needs to overcome the resistance at $3,080. If Ethereum can surpass these resistance levels and establish a clear move above $3,200, it is expected to rise and test the resistance at $3,350. In this scenario, Ethereum could potentially progress towards the resistance zone at $3,500.
Recent price fluctuations raise the possibility of a downturn in Ethereum’s price. What could happen if Ethereum fails to surpass the resistance level at $3,055? Ethereum’s MACD is losing momentum in the bearish zone, indicating a potential corrective movement in the price. Similarly, the hourly RSI is below the 50 level, suggesting increased selling pressure.
Currently, Ethereum’s first support level is around $3,000. If this level is breached, the price is expected to fall to the area around $2,950. Consequently, the next critical support level at $2,920 emerges. If this support is broken, Ethereum’s price could drop to $2,840. In a more negative scenario, the price could decline further to $2,720.
However, it is also important to consider the resistance levels Ethereum faces during each downtrend. Currently, the main resistance level is set at $3,080. If the price can surpass this level, ETH could initiate a rise to higher levels.
