Analyzing the 24-hour price chart, if there is a recovery wave, the price could face a key resistance in the $3,695 range. If the bullish trend persists, the next major resistance level to be found is between $3,730 – $3,796. Furthermore, the higher target might be at the $4K range.
Conversely, if Ethereum’s price fails to climb above the resistance zone, it may drop to immediate support near the $3,338 level. The second subsequent support may seemingly be found at $3.284. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,247 support zone.
