Ethereum Price Finds Demand at 38.2% FIB Amid Market Sell-off; Buy this Dip?

This week saw a notable increase in the cryptocurrency market’s volatility, spurred on by the anticipation of the upcoming Bitcoin Halving event. The early week recovery in the market reverted quickly on the weekend as the BTC price fell to a low of $65133 on Friday. Amid this downfall, the ETH price plunged to swing low support of $3100, seeking stable support to prevent a prolonged downfall.

Buyers Eye ETH’s 100-Day EMA Support for Potential Recovery

The Ethereum (ETH) coin has been under a correction trend for over a month, showcasing prices dropping from $4095 to $3100, registering a 25% downfall. However, the lower level coinciding with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and currently with a 100-day EMA slope creates a high area of interest(AOI) for buyers. 

The ETH price currently trades at the $3258 mark and with an intraday gain of 0.57% it shows a long-tail rejection at $3100 support, indicating the demand pressure is intact.

For buyers to sustain above this level in the coming days is crucial to indicate the sentiment of ‘buying the dip’ is intact. The renewed recovery may surge the ETH price by 14% to break the $3730 resistance, followed by a prior swing high of $4100.
