Ethereum Price Dips Again
Ethereum price started a recovery wave after it tested the $4,260 zone, like Bitcoin. ETH price was able to climb above the $4,320 and $4,350 resistance levels.
The price surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $4,660 swing high to the $4,261 low. However, the bears remained active near the $4,480 resistance zone. There were two attempts, but the bulls failed to gain strength to clear $4,500.
The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $4,660 swing high to the $4,261 low is acting as a barrier. The price reacted to the downside below $4,450.
