Ethereum Price Underperforms Bitcoin

However, Bitcoin performed better and rallied significantly above the $58,000 resistance. It surged over 10% and even cleared the $60,000 level. Ether also managed to pump above $3,300. A new multi-week high is formed near $3,368 and the price is now consolidating gains.

If there is a move above the $3,500 resistance, Ether could even rally toward the $3,650 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of $3,800.

Downside Correction In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,365 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,320 level.

The first major support is near the $3,280 zone and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $3,206 swing low to the $3,368 high. The next key support could be the $3,160 zone. A clear move below the $3,160 support might send the price toward $3,120. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,050 level.
