Ethereum Price Trims Gains

Ethereum price struggled to clear the $3,250 and $3,280 resistance levels. ETH started a fresh decline and traded below the $3,200 support to enter a short-term bearish zone, like Bitcoin.

Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $3,190 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair even declined below $3,150 and tested $3,100. A low has formed at $3,105 and the price is now consolidating losses.

Ethereum is now trading below $3,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,291 swing high to the $3,105 low.

Immediate resistance is near the $3,180 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The first major resistance is near the $3,200 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,291 swing high to the $3,105 low.

The next key resistance sits at $3,220, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $3,250 level. A close above the $3,250 resistance could send the price toward the $3,280 resistance. If there is a move above the $3,280 resistance, Ethereum could even test the $3,350 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $3,500 resistance zone.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,200 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,120 level. The first major support is near the $3,100 zone.

The main support is near the $3,030 level. A clear move below the $3,030 support might increase selling pressure and send the price toward $2,850. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,650 level in the near term.

Ethereum (ETH) price is aiming for $1,800 in February — Here is why

ETH price is finding support at $1,560 and multiple data points are beginning to hint at a possible rally to $1,800 before the end of February. Ether (ETH) has been struggling with the $1,680 resistance since Jan. 20. Still, the ascending triangle pattern and improvements in investor sentiment in ETH derivatives provides hope that Ether price could reach $1,800 or higher by the end of February. This, of course, depends on how the Ether price behaves as it reaches the pattern deadline by mid-February.  Ether/USD price index, 12-hour. Source: TradingView From one side, traders are relieved that Ether is trading up 33% year-to-date, but the repeated failures to break the $1,680 resistance coupled with negative newsflow might give bears the power to cancel the bullish triangle pattern. According to a Jan. 30 report from Axios, New York State's Department of Financial Services is reportedly investigating Cryptocurrency Exchange Gemini over claims that the firm made regarding assets in...
