Ethereum Price Corrects Some Gains

Ethereum price remained well-bid above the $3,750 support zone. ETH formed a base and started a fresh increase above $3,920 beating Bitcoin. The bulls were able to push the price above the $4,000 resistance.

The price tested the $4,080 resistance. A high was formed at $4,093 and the price started a downside correction. There was a move below the $4,050 and $4,000 levels. The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3,680 swing low to the $4,093 high.

Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $3,965 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading above $3,920 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,960 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,980 level. The main resistance is now forming near $4,000. A clear move above the $4,000 resistance might send the price toward the $4,080 resistance.

An upside break above the $4,080 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,150 resistance zone or even $4,220.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,000 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,920 level. The first major support sits near the $3,880 zone.

A clear move below the $3,880 support might push the price toward the $3,840 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,770 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,650.
