On the upside, an initial resistance level is seen near $2,940. It is close to the 23.6 percent Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $3,082 swing high to the $2,896 low. The next major resistance is located between $2,980 and $3,000 in price.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,082 swing high to the $2,896 low is also close to the $2,990 level. A close above $3,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average could signal the start of a decent recovery wave. The next major resistance level could be around $3,050.

More ETH Losses?

If Ethereum fails to initiate a recovery wave above the $3,000 level, it may continue to fall. On the downside, an initial support level is near $2,900.

The next major support is around $2,850. If the price falls below the $2,850 support level, it may begin to fall again. There is a risk of a move towards $2,780 in this scenario. Good luck!
