Ethereum Pauses above $3,200 Support, Poises for Upward Move Soon

The price of Ethereum (ETH) is in a downward movement. Today, the largest altcoin drops to the low of $3,111 support as bulls buy the dips.

In the last few hours, the cryptocurrency moved above the current support. Incidentally, this was the historical price level from September 10, where the Ethereum price consolidated before moving back up. If the current support holds, the market will rise and retest the resistance at $3,800. However, a breakout above the $3,800 resistance would signal the resumption of the upward momentum. It is a breakout into the bullish trend zone. However, if the current support holds, the altcoin will fluctuate between $3,200 and $3,800 if the bulls fail to break the recent high. Ether is trading at $3,219 as of press time.
