Ethereum Price Dives Below $3,350

Ethereum price failed to start a fresh increase above the $3,500 resistance zone. ETH started a fresh decline and traded below the $3,400 support zone. It declined by over 8% more than Bitcoin.

There was a break below a key declining channel with support at $3,380 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair even declined below the $3,200 level and tested $3,180. A low is formed near $3,183 and the price is showing signs of more losses.

Ethereum is now trading below $3,400 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a recovery wave, the price could face resistance near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,500 swing high to the $3,183 low at $3,250.

The first major resistance is near the $3,300 level. The next major hurdle is near the $3,350 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,500 swing high to the $3,183 low. A close above the $3,350 level might send Ether toward the $3,380 resistance.
