Ethereum Revisits the $3,272 High, Can Bulls Sustain an Upturn?

Over the past week, the Ethereum (ETH) price has maintained its recent rallies as it continues to consolidate below the $3,187 resistance. The Ether price has been fluctuating below its recent high since August 7.

Traders believe that consolidation below a resistance level increases the chances of a breakout. In the latest price action, Ether was dumped at the high of $3,272.20.

A breakout above the recent resistance will catapult the altcoin above the high of $3,300. Nonetheless, the bullish momentum will continue to the upside. On the other hand, if the bulls fail to break through the current resistance, the market will continue to fluctuate between $2,900 and $3,200. In the meantime, the Ethereum price is trading in the overbought territory while the price is rising again. It is unlikely that the altcoin will have enough room to move higher.

Major Resistance Levels - $4,000 and $4,500
