ETH price declined below $3,280 and $3,250 to enter a bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $3,220 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD. The pair even declined below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,060 swing low to the $3,402 high. The price finally tested $3,180.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum price is now trading below $3,250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls can protect more losses below $3,180 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,060 swing low to the $3,402 high, the price could attempt another increase.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-876361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ethereum_300d95.png?resize=1024%2C488\" alt=\"Ethereum Price \" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Immediate resistance is seen near the $3,230 level. The first key resistance is near the $3,250 level. The next major resistance is near the $3,280 level. A clear move above the $3,280 resistance might send the price toward the $3,320 resistance. An upside break above the $3,320 region might call for more gains in the coming days.
