ETH price declined below $3,250 and $3,220 to enter a bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>The bears even pushed the price below the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,060 swing low to the $3,402 high. The price finally tested $3,160 and is currently consolidating losses. There is also a short-term declining channel forming with resistance at $3,210 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum price is now trading below $3,220 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

The first key resistance is near the $3,260 level. The next major resistance is near the $3,280 level. A clear move above the $3,280 resistance might send the price toward the $3,320 resistance. An upside break above the $3,320 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,400 resistance zone or even $3,450 in the near term.<\/p>\n<h2>Downside Continuation In ETH?<\/h2>\n<p>If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,220 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,160 level. The first major support sits near the $3,140 zone or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,060 swing low to the $3,402 high.<\/p>\n<p>A clear move below the $3,140 support might push the price toward the $3,080 support.
