ETH price declined below the $4,050 and $4,000 levels.<\/p>\n<p>It even tested the $3,940 zone. A low was formed at $3,932 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor increase above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,216 swing high to the $3,932 low.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, there is a short-term contracting triangle forming with support at $3,950 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD. Ethereum price is now trading below $4,050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,075 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,150 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,216 swing high to the $3,932 low.

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 $4,350 resistance zone or even $4,420 in the near term.<\/p>\n<h2>Another Decline In ETH?<\/h2>\n<p>If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,150 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,950 level and the triangle\u2019s trend line. The first major support sits near the $3,880 zone.<\/p>\n<p>A clear move below the $3,880 support might push the price toward the $3,820 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,750 region in the near term.
