If the bulls can protect more losses below $3,280, the price may attempt another rally. Current resistance is seen near the $3350 level. The first key resistance is near the $3380 level. The next major resistance is near the $3400 level. A clear move above the $3,400 resistance could send the price towards the $3,500 resistance. A break above the $3500 region could claim more gains in the coming days. In the said case, Ether could rise towards the resistance zone of $3550 or even $3650 in the near future.
Another ETH crash?
If Ethereum fails to overcome the $3,400 resistance, a new decline could begin. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,300 level. The first major support is located near the $3280 zone and the trend line.
A clear move below the $3,280 support could push the price towards the $3,230 support and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent swing from the $3,061 swing low to the $3,402 high. Any further loss could push the price to the $3,200 region.
