  • Ethereum started a fresh decline after it failed to clear the $1,500 resistance zone.
  • The price is now trading below $1,400 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,360 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could accelerate further lower below the $1,300 support zone in the near term.

Ethereum Price Starts Fresh Drop

Ethereum failed to gain strength for a move above the $1,480 and $1,500 resistance levels. ETH formed a top near the $1,475 level and started a fresh decline.

Ether price is now consolidating losses above the $1,280 level and below the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $1,335 level. It is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,474 swing high to $1,288 low.

A clear break above $1,380 might send the price towards the $1,440 level. Any more gains may perhaps open the doors for a move towards the $1,480 resistance in the near term.
