Fresh Decline in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to continue higher above the $4,050 and $4,100 resistance levels, it could start another downside correction. An initial support on the downside is near the $3,820 level.
The first key support is near the $3,750 level. The main support is now forming near the $3,700 level. If there is a downside break below the $3,700 zone, the price could decline towards the $3,500 support.
