Ethereum Price Dips Sharply
Ethereum price failed to continue higher above the $4,650 zone and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price declined below the $4,600 and $4,550 support levels.
The bears even pushed the price below $4,420. A low was formed at $4,264 and the price is now consolidating losses and is well below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $4,637 swing high to the $4,264 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $4,400 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,350 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,400 level.
The first major resistance is near the $4,450 level. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,450 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. A clear move above the $4,450 resistance might send the price toward the $4,500 resistance or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $4,637 swing high to the $4,264 low.
An upside break above the $4,500 region might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,550 resistance zone or even $4,620 in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,350 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,250 level. The first major support sits near the $4,220 zone.
A clear move below the $4,220 support might push the price toward the $4,150 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $4,120 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $4,050.

From yen rate hikes to mining farms shutting down, why is bitcoin still falling?
The recent decline in bitcoin prices is primarily driven by expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan, uncertainty regarding the US Federal Reserve's rate cut trajectory, and systemic de-risking by market participants. Japan's potential rate hike may trigger the unwinding of global arbitrage trades, leading to a sell-off in risk assets. At the same time, increased uncertainty over US rate cuts has intensified market volatility. In addition, selling by long-term holders, miners, and market makers has further amplified the price drop.
