Ethereum Price Dips Further
Ethereum price remained in a bearish zone after it settled below $4,250, like Bitcoin. ETH price declined below the $4,120 and $4,050 support levels.
The bears even pushed the price below $4,000. A low was formed at $3,826 and the price recently started a minor recovery wave. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $4,275 swing high to the $3,826 low.
However, the bears remained active near the $3,950 resistance zone. Ethereum price is now trading below $4,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,050 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,000 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,050 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $4,275 swing high to the $3,826 low. The first major resistance is near the $4,120 level. A clear move above the $4,120 resistance might send the price toward the $4,150 resistance and the trend line.
An upside break above the $4,250 region might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,320 resistance zone or even $4,350 in the near term.

A clear move below the $3,820 support might push the price toward the $3,750 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,720 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,650.
