The bears even pushed the price below $3,000.

Ethereum price is now trading below $3,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls can protect more losses below $2,880, the price could attempt another increase.

Immediate resistance is seen near the $3,020 level. The first key resistance is near the $3,080 level. The next major resistance is near the $3,120 level. A clear move above the $3,120 resistance might send the price toward the $3,150 resistance or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent downward move from the $3,367 swing high to the $2,910 swing low.

An upside break above the $3,150 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,220 resistance zone or even $3,300 in the near term.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,020 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,920 level. The first major support sits near the $2,880 zone.

A clear move below the $2,880 support might push the price toward the $2,800 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,750 region. The main support could be $2,650.
