Ethereum Price Reclaims $3,500

There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $3,450 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3,412 swing low to the $3,563 high.

A close above the $3,650 level might send Ether toward the $3,700 resistance. The next key resistance is near $3,720. An upside break above the $3,720 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,800 resistance zone in the coming days.
