Ethereum Price is Facing Hurdles

Ethereum struggled to stay above the $3,200 zone and started a fresh decline, similar to bitcoin. ETH price broke the $3,180 support level and the 100 hourly simple moving average to move into a short-term bearish zone.

The price even broke the $3,100 level and spiked below the $3,000 level. A low was formed near $2,980 before the price started a decent recovery. It climbed above the $3,050 resistance level and reclaimed the 100 hourly simple moving average.

There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,280 high to $2,980 low. However, ether price is now facing a strong resistance near the $3,150 level.

There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $3,140 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,280 high to $2,980 low. The main resistance is now forming near the $3,180 level.
