Ethereum Price Remains Stable

Ether price traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3,696 low to $4,035 high. It is now trading below $3,950 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $3,950 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $3,950 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The next major resistance is near the $4,000 level. A clear move above the $4,000 level and the recent high could start a fresh increase in the near term.
