Ethereum prices rise above $3,000
Ethereum prices have started to rise again, like Bitcoin, above the $2,800 zone. ETH prices have increased their pace to move beyond the $2,880 resistance zone and entered the positive zone.
The Bulls even pumped up prices above $2,920. Finally, we tested the $3,080 zone. The high was formed at $3,081, and prices are now consolidating profits. There was a movement below the 50% FIB retracement level of an upward movement from a $2,905 swing to $3,081 height.
What’s more, the ETH/USD hourly wage chart showed support of $2,980 below the major bullish trendline. Ethereum prices currently trade a simple moving average of nearly $2,940 and 100 hours.
The advantage is that the price could face resistance close to the $2,980 level. The next important resistance is close to the $3,000 level. The first major resistance is close to the $3,040 level. A clear move above the $3,040 resistance could turn the price towards the $3,080 resistance.
An upward break above the $3,080 resistance could require more profits in future sessions. If specified, ether could rise towards a $3,200 resistance zone, or even $3,220.
