The next major resistance is near $3,000, above which the price might rise and test the $3,065 resistance zone. If there is a move above the $3,065 resistance, Ether could even rally toward the $3,185 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of $3,220.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,975 resistance, it could start another downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,900 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

The first major support is near the $2,865 level. The next key support could be the $2,820 zone. A clear move below the $2,820 support might send the price toward $2,740. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,720 level in the coming sessions.
