The next key resistance sits at $3,350, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $3,500 level. A close above the $3,500 resistance could send the price toward the $3,550 resistance. If there is a move above the $3,550 resistance, Ethereum could even test the $3,750 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $3,880 resistance zone in the coming days.
Another Drop In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,280 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,200 level. The first major support is near the $3,180 zone and the trend line.
