ETH was able to climb above the $3,980 and $4,000 resistance levels.<\/p>\n<p>The bulls pushed the pair above the $4,050 and $4,080 resistance levels. A high was formed at $4,107 before there was a pullback. There was a minor decline below the $4,000 level. The price traded as low as $3,946 and is currently rising.<\/p>\n<p>There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $4,107 swing high to the $3,946 low. Ethereum price is now trading above $4,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $3,940 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $4,025 level. The first major resistance is near the $4,070 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $4,107 swing high to the $3,946 low.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-663293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Ethereum_bab15d.png?resize=1024%2C478\" alt=\"Ethereum Price\" width=\"1024\" height=\"478\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The main resistance is now forming near $4,120. A clear move above the $4,120 resistance might send the price toward the $4,250 resistance. An upside break above the $4,250 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,350 resistance zone or even $4,500.<\/p>\n<h2>Downside Correction In ETH?<\/h2>\n<p>If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,120 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,980 level. The first major support sits near the $3,940 zone.<\/p>\n<p>A clear move below the $3,940 support might push the price toward the $3,880 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,800 support level in the near term.
