After stabilizing above the $3,250 support zone, Ethereum gained momentum, moving past the $3,320 and $3,350 resistance levels. On the hourly chart (data feed via Kraken), ETH/USD broke a short-term declining channel at $3,350, climbing above the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Currently, ETH faces resistance near the $3,400 mark, closely aligned with the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level of its recent dip from $3,444 to $3,310. If the price clears the $3,450 resistance, analysts foresee a surge toward $3,550. Further bullish momentum could drive Ethereum to test $3,650 and potentially $3,720 in the near term.
However, failure to break the $3,450 resistance could result in another decline. Initial support lies at $3,360, with stronger support at $3,320. A bearish move below this level may send the price toward $3,250, and extended losses could test $3,200 or even $3,120.
Ethereum’s performance in the coming sessions hinges on its ability to surpass the $3,450 resistance. If successful, it could solidify a bullish trend, attracting further interest from traders and investors. However, caution remains necessary, as failure to maintain current support levels could lead to downward pressure.
