The next key resistance sits at $3,200, above which the price might rise toward the $3,280 level. A close above the $3,280 resistance could send the price toward the $3,500 pivot level. If there is a move above the $3,500 resistance, Ethereum could even climb toward the $3,650 resistance in the coming sessions. 
<h2 id="more-losses-in-eth">More Losses In ETH?</h2> 
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,100 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,000 level. The first major support is near the $2,900 zone. 
The next key support could be the $2,820 zone or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2,535 swing low to the $3,279 high. A clear move below the $2,820 support might send the price toward $2,600. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,550 level in the near term.
