Ethereum price started a major increase above the $3,250 resistance zone. ETH even climbed above the $3,350 resistance to move further into a positive zone. Finally, there was a move above the $3,440 resistance, like Bitcoin.

It tested the $3,500 resistance zone. A high was formed at $3,497 and the price is now consolidating gains. The bulls seem to be active well above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $3,085 swing low to the $3,497 high.

Ethereum is now trading above $3,400 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $3,320 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $3,480 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,500 level. The next major hurdle is near the $3,550 level. A close above the $3,550 level might send Ether toward the $3,650 resistance.

The next key resistance is near $3,720. An upside break above the $3,720 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,880 resistance zone in the coming days.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,500 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near $3,400. The first major support sits near the $3,320 zone and the trend line.

A clear move below the $3,320 support might push the price toward $3,270 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $3,085 swing low to the $3,497 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,220 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,150.
