Ethereum Price Recovers above $3,200

The next major hurdle is near the $3,400 level. A close above the $3,400 level might send Ether toward the $3,500 resistance.

The next key resistance is near $3,550. An upside break above the $3,550 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,720 resistance zone in the coming days.

Another Decline In ETH?
