ETH price declined below $3,120 and $3,120 to enter a short-term bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>The last major swing low was formed at $3,050 before the price started a consolidation phase. There was a minor upward move above $3,130, and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,308 swing high to the $3,050 low.<\/p>\n<p>However, the bears are active near $3,150 and $3,180.

A clear move above the $3,200 resistance might send the price toward the $3,265 resistance. An upside break above the $3,265 region might call for more gains in the coming days.
