Ethereum was trading near the key resistance level of $3,120. The asset remained within a tight range and indicated no potential of a significant breakout. Traders followed the price actions because the wider trend was not strong. The short-term rally provided impetus, although it did not validate a long-term turnaround.
Ethereum remained within a broad correctional range of between $2,700 and $3,500. The lower resistance area was around $3,100, which was the price tested after a few days of sideways action. The 100-day and 200-day moving averages served as resistances around $3,500. These levels curtailed any attempts to rise and constrained any bullish pressure.

Ethereum Awaits Breakout Above the Critical $3,500 Resistance
Analysts said that a breakout of more than $3,500 would be needed in order to lessen the risk to the downside. Any rejection below this point can drive the price down to the mid-range. The zone of $2,700 was also a potential support level. Technical indicators also improved, but they did not indicate the complete shift in the trend.
At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $3,110. The price declined by 0.21% in the past 24 hours. The day trading volume dropped by 46.41% and is currently standing at $12.82 billion. Over the last week, the ETH coin price is up by 6.3%.

Analyst More Crypto Online highlighted that ETH has to remain above $3,049 to continue gaining momentum in the short term on an upward trend. He said the rejection of the 100% extension at level $3,143 was predictable. The analyst referred to the structure as a three-wave pullback. Any decline below $3,049 would indicate a larger retracement.

He noted that such a step would put Ethereum in a neutral short-term position. This would lower transparency among traders. The price movement in this region tends to be choppy. It is also more challenging to make short-term predictions.
