Ethereum in Jeopardy as Bulls Fail to Jump over $3,225 Hurdle

Ethereum (ETH) is resuming an upward move after the recent collapse. Today, the uptrend is stuck at resistance at $3,225. Over the past 48 hours, buyers have made a concerted effort to break out above the recent high.

However, in the last two days, Ether has moved down between the $3,165 and $3,225 levels. Upside is likely if current support holds. If the bulls break the resistance of $3,225, the largest altcoin will have an accelerated price movement to the upside. The market will likely reach a high of $3,400. However, if the bears break the $3,165 support, the market will fall to the next support at the $2,945 level. The bearish scenario is unlikely as the market direction is bullish. Meanwhile, ETH /USD is trading at $3,206.70 at the time of writing.
