Ethereum price is now trading above $3,600 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,650 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,650 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

The first major resistance is near the $3,685 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,762 swing high to the $3,557 low. The main resistance is now forming near $3,750.

A clear move above the $3,750 resistance might send the price toward the $3,800 resistance. An upside break above the $3,800 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,880 resistance zone or even $3,920.

Another Slide In ETH?
