Ethereum Trimmed Its Gains While $3200 Remains Key

Ethereum trimmed its gains slightly but the $3200 level remains the key for another upward move as we can see more today in our latest Ethereum latest news.

Ethereum trimmed its gains of the $3450 resistance against the dollar but the price has to stay above $3200 to start a new upward move. Ethereum started a new decline from the $3480 and the $3450 resistance levels. The price is trading below $3300 and the 100 hourly simple moving average but there was also a break below the bullish trend line with support near $3300 on the hourly chart of the pair which can start a new increase if it manages to stay above $3200.

Ethereum failed to gain bullish momentum above the $3450 resistance zone and ETH formed a new high near $3446 with the price starting a new decline. The move below the support zone could bring a break below the trend line and $3300 but the ETH price is now trading below $3300 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. ETH moved below the $3250 level and formed a new low near $3215 but the price is now consolidating the gains above $3200.

The immediate resistance is close to the $3270 level and it is near the 23.6% fib retracement from the drop of $3446 high to $3215 low. The next major resistance is close to the $3300 level but the ETH price has to clear the $3300 resistance and start a new surge. In the sated case, the price can surpass $3350 or the 50% fib retracement level from the drop of $3446 high to the $3215 low. The next major stop for the bulls can be set at $3450. If ETH fails to start a new increase above the $3300 level it can continue to move down and the initial support is near the $3240 zone.

The next major support is close to the $3220 level with the main support being near the $3200 zone. The downside break below this level could spark a new decline and in the stated caste, there is a risk of a move to the $3050 level. The hourly MACD for the pair is losing pace in the bearish zone while the hourly RSI is well below the 50 levels.
