Ethereum Price Recovers

Ethereum price remained supported above the $3,820 level and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin. ETH price was able to recover above the $3,880 and $4,000 resistance levels.

There was a clear move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $4,275 swing high to the $3,826 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $4,000 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum price is now trading above $4,050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,150 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,170 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $4,275 swing high to the $3,826 low.

The first major resistance is near the $4,200 level. A clear move above the $4,200 resistance might send the price toward the $4,250 resistance. An upside break above the $4,250 region might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,320 resistance zone or even $4,350 in the near term.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,200 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,050 level. The first major support sits near the $4,000 zone.

A clear move below the $4,000 support might push the price toward the $3,920 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,880 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,820.
