Ethereum price is now trading below $2,900 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,900 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,920 level and the trend line or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,403 wing high to the $2,127 swing low.
The main resistance is now forming near $3,000. A clear move above the $3,000 resistance might send the price toward the $3,120 resistance.
