There was a break above a short-term declining channel with resistance at $3,350 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,444 swing high to the $3,310 low.

Ethereum price is now trading above $3,365 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,400 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,444 swing high to the $3,310 low.
