Ethereum price trades near crucial support
On the 4-hour chart, Ethereum’s price is struggling near the $2,900 mark after retracing from the $2,987.0 made on March 19. A renewed buying pressure will push the price into a higher trajectory toward $3,000.
Ethereum price is sitting comfortably above the 50-day and 200-day SMA (Simple Moving Average). Thus, making bulls comfortable about the upside momentum in the short-term.
A decisive close above the $3,000 crucial level will set the path for the horizontal resistance level at $3,200.
On the flip side, a fall below the 0.23% Fibonacci retracement level at $2,876.92 will reverse the current upside. On the downside, the interim target is placed at $2,795.22. Furthermore, a dive below the 200-EMA at $2,723.70 will find the support at $2,733.05.
ETH has depreciated nearly 65% from the record highs made on November 10. After breaking the crucial $3,200 support level, ETH tested a record low on January 22 at $2,301.60. Bulls attempt to break away from the support-turned-resistance on February 9 but failed to do so.
