Dips Limited in ETH?
If ethereum fails to continue higher above $3,120 or $3,200, it could start a downside correction. An initial support on the downside is near the $3,040 level. The first major support is near the $3,020 level.
It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,952 swing low to $3,089 high. A downside break below the $3,020 level might push the price further lower. The next major support is near the $2,920 level and the 100 hourly SMA, below which there is a risk of a sharp decline. In the stated case, the price might revisit $2,800
