The price declined 6% and even tested the $2,820 support. A low was formed at $2,825 and the price is now consolidating losses. The price is showing a lot of bearish signs and testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,077 swing high to the $2,825 low.

Ethereum is trading below $3,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a recovery wave, the price might face resistance near the $2,920 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,950 level.

There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2,950 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,077 swing high to the $2,825 low.

The next major hurdle is near the $3,000 level. A close above the $3,000 level might send Ether toward the $3,080 resistance. The next key resistance is near $3,120. An upside break above the $3,120 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,250 resistance zone.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,950 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near $2,820. The first major support sits near the $2,800 zone.

A clear move below the $2,800 support might push the price toward $2,720. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,650 level in the near term.
