Ethereum Recovers but Struggles Below $4,000 Resistance Zone

Following its recent fall to a $3,600 low, Ethereum has risen to a $3,987.90 high. On May 13, the bears tested the $3,600 support to break it but pulled back. The candlestick on that date shows a long tail.

Nevertheless, the bears retested the support on three occasions before the resumption of an upward move. The current uptrend is also facing rejection at the $4,000 resistance zone. On May 13, the bulls retested the $4,000 resistance zone and were resisted.

Ether fell and found support above $3,600 support. On the upside, if buyers succeed in breaking the $4,000 resistance, a retest at the $4400 overhead resistance is likely. Also, if the bulls break the overhead resistance, the market will rally to a new high of $4,800. Conversely, if the bulls fail to break the $4,000 resistance level, the biggest altcoin will resume a range-bound move below the overhead resistance. In other words, the market will fluctuate between $3,600 and $4,000 price levels.
