• Ethereum is showing positive signs from the $3,150 pivot zone.
• The price is trading above $3,250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

Ethereum price formed a base above the $3,080 support zone. A low is formed at $3,087 and the price started a decent increase above the $3,220 resistance zone, but lagged strength like Bitcoin.

There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $3,280 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair was able to clear the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,540 swing high to the $3,087 low.

Ethereum is now trading above $3,250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there are more upsides, the price could face resistance near the $3,375 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,540 swing high to the $3,087 low.

The first major resistance is near the $3,400 level. The next major hurdle is near the $3,450 level. A close above the $3,450 level might send Ether toward the $3,500 resistance. The next key resistance is near $3,550. An upside break above the $3,550 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,720 resistance zone in the coming days.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,400 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near $3,280. The first major support sits near the $3,250 zone.

A clear move below the $3,180 support might push the price toward $3,120. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,080 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,050.
