Ethereum Price Is Now At Risk
Ethereum price failed to continue higher above the $4,500 zone and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price declined below the $4,420 and $4,350 support levels.
The bears even pushed the price below $4,200. A low was formed at $4,000 and the price recently started a minor recovery wave. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $4,636 swing high to the $4,000 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $4,220 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,220 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,280 level.
The first major resistance is near the $4,315 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $4,636 swing high to the $4,000 low. A clear move above the $4,315 resistance might send the price toward the $4,370 resistance. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,370 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

An upside break above the $4,370 region might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,450 resistance zone or even $4,550 in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,215 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,125 level. The first major support sits near the $4,050 zone.
A clear move below the $4,050 support might push the price toward the $4,000 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,880 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,750.
