<h2 id="ethereum-price-faces-hurdles">Ethereum Price Faces Hurdles</h2> 
Ethereum price started a <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/eth/ethereum-price-reclaims-3k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">recovery wave</a> above the $3,000 resistance zone. ETH was able to climb above the $3,120 level. However, the bears were active near the $3,280 resistance zone. 
A high was formed at $3,278 and the price started a fresh decline, like <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/btc/bitcoin-price-restarts-decline-60k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Bitcoin</a>. There was a move below the $3,200 support zone. The price declined below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recovery wave from the $2,537 swing low to the $3,278 high. 
There was also a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $3,100 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum is now trading below $3,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. 
Immediate resistance is near the $3,200 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,250 level. The next key resistance sits at $3,280, above which the price might test the $3,350 level. The key hurdle could be $3,500, above which Ether could gain bullish momentum.

In the stated case, the price could rise toward the $3,620 zone. If there is a move above the $3,620 resistance, Ethereum could even rise toward the $3,750 resistance. 
<h2 id="more-losses-in-eth">More Losses In ETH?</h2> 
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,200 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,000 level. 
The first major support is near the $2,900 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recovery wave from the $2,537 swing low to the $3,278 high. The next key support could be the $2,820 zone. A clear move below the $2,820 support might send the price toward $2,650. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,550 level.
