The price is currently trading close to $2,840, aligning with the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average — a level that often acts as a short-term momentum indicator.

Beyond this, the next resistance level lies at $2,920, followed by a stronger barrier near $2,950.

If ETH manages to move above $2,960 and hold, the price could target the $3,020 resistance area.

15 / 15

A move under $2,720 could pull the price toward $2,650, followed by the recent low around $2,620.
