However, the price is struggling to gain pace above $3,380. It failed to clear the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,437 high to $3,211 low. There is also a crucial breakout pattern forming with support near $3,260 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

A successful break above the triangle resistance and $3,380 could start a fresh rally. The next major hurdle for the bulls could be $3,450 or $3,500.

More Upsides in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to climb above $3,380, it could decline further. An immediate support on the downside is near the $3,260 level and the triangle lower trend line.

If there is a downside break below the triangle trend line, the price might even trade below $3,200. In the stated case, ether price may possibly decline towards the $3,000 support.
